Co-presented with UNITED FOOD & COMMERCIAL WORKERS LOCAL 21. Action on climate change must include changes in the global food system, argues Anna Lappé, author of the new book, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It (Simon & Schuster). Joining such figures as Michael Pollan, Jane Goodall, Marion Nestle, and her mother, Frances Moore Lappé, Anna Lappé links climate to diet, suggesting personal actions and choices that remind us of our connection to the planet, and in large and small ways address the crisis at hand. "We'd better mend our ways. And as Anna Lappé demonstrates here better than anyone ever has, that means fixing not just our cars and our power plants, but also our menus ... Livestock alone may account for more global warming gases than automobiles; the entire industrial food system essentially ensures that your food is marinated in crude oil before you eat it." – Bill McKibbin, from the foreword.
