The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.
Frances Moore Lappé
Individuality doesn't just mean individualism-standing alone. It means developing one's unique gifts, and being able to share them for the enjoyment of oneself and others.
Frances Moore Lappé
Every choice we make can be a celebration of the world we want.
Frances Moore Lappé
Little wonder that it can seem unthinkable to say no, thanks to the modern-day equivalent of our tribe - our fear-driven culture.

Frances Moore Lappé
This is the first generation to know that the choices we're making have ultimate consequences. It's a time when you either choose life or you choose death ... Going along with the current order means that you're choosing death.
Frances Moore Lappé
You have increasing poverty and increasing wealth. Fine food is one way to dispense with a lot of money... It's understanding that our daily choices about food connect us to a worldwide economic system. And that economic system - not scarcity - creates worldwide hunger for millions of people.
Frances Moore Lappé
We got hooked on grain-fed meat just as we got hooked on gas guzzling automobiles. Big cars made sense only when oil was cheap grain-fed meat makes sense only because the true costs of producing it are not counted.
