Author of "Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Broken and What We Can Do to Fix It"
We are so excited to host Ms Richardson while she is here promoting her book!
Mark your calendars for Sunday November 8th at Cafe Caffeine (www.cafe-caffeine.com) 909 West Mary Street, Austin, Texas 78704. 5:00 - 7:00pm
Here is the Amazon book description:
America's food system is dominated by agribusiness and corporate farms, whose
destructive practices pollute the environment, are cruel to animals, and offer
us unhealthy food choices. Despite this dire situation, most people have little
idea how to eat differently, or healthier.
In Recipe for America, food activist Jill Richardson shows how sustainable
agriculture—where local farms raise food that is healthy for consumers and
animals and does not damage the environment—offers the only solution to
America's food crisis. In addition to highlighting the harmful conditions at
factory farms, this timely and necessary book details the rising grassroots food
movement, which is creating an agricultural system that allows people to eat
sustainably, locally, and seasonally.
A call to action for those who are concerned about what they eat and the health
of the planet, Recipe for America shows how sustainable eating nourishes our
bodies, our economy, and our environment, and how it is the best hope for the
future of food in America.
Jill Richardson blogs about food issues at Daily Kos and at her own blog, La
Vida Locavore (www.lavidalocavore.org). She is also a member of the
advisory board of the Organic Consumers Association.
