Book Review: Hopes Edge

For many of us who came of age in the 1970’s, reading Frances Moore Lappe’s “Diet for a Small Planet” was a life transforming experience, shattering our conceptions about the root causes of world hunger and
opening our minds to the possibilities of a plant-based, protein-rich, whole-foods diet. Thirty years and millions of copies later, the book still makes profound sense in a world where food resources are overly abundant for some, while painfully scarce for others, and the average North American diet consists of highly processed foods that are shipped thousands of miles to market.
