More quotes by Frances Moore Lappé
Because we are living in a culture increasingly dominated by fear where many feel blocked.
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
Hunger is a people-made phenomenon, so the central issue is power: the power of those who make the decisions about what is grown and who, or what, it's grown for.
Frances Moore Lappé
Fear doesn't necessarily mean that we have to stop. It doesn't mean that we are failures. It doesn't mean that we are cowards.
Frances Moore Lappé
We didn't evolve to be passive victims or shoppers.
Frances Moore Lappé
much agricultural land which might be growing food is being used instead to 'grow' money (in the form of coffee, tea, etc.).
Frances Moore Lappé
I like to think of power back in its Latin root, its meaning comes from posse - to be able.

A life-long mission has been to counter the notion that political engagement is the spinach we must eat in order to have the dessert of freedom.
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
What we need to get right is not focusing on the fear associated with quantity - not enough, scarcity, and lack - and moving instead to a worldview that explores quality and connectedness.
Frances Moore Lappé
On the one hand, our social nature is our greatest beauty - it means that we have natural empathy and sympathy. But our social nature also means that we may let ourselves be controlled by the judgments of others, precisely because we care so much about our status in community.
Frances Moore Lappé
Hope is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.
Frances Moore Lappé
I read a book in the late 1990s called The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, by Erich Fromm, and it had a profound impact on me. Fromm takes Descartes' statement, I think, therefore I am and changes it to I effect, therefore I am.
Frances Moore Lappé
Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.
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
I had left graduate school, determined that I wasn't going to do anything else to save the world until I understood how I could get at the underlying causes of deepening suffering. To do that, I had to start by admitting that I didn't know.
Frances Moore Lappé
I also believe that it's almost impossible for people to change alone. We need to join with others who will push us in our thinking and challenge us to do things we didn't believe ourselves capable of.
Frances Moore Lappé
Every aspect of our lives is, in a sense, a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
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
History doesn't proceed in incremental little notches.
