Frances Moore Lappé is the author of the best-selling classic Diet for a Small Planet, a book that awakened a whole generation to the way our food ties us to the world economy and also told us how individuals can begin work for solutions to world hunger. Ms. Lappé's research and writing on the root causes of world hunger have made her "one of the most respected critics on food issues in the country," according to The New York Times.
