Food for Oil Redux: Social Networks, Contacts


Lappe

Frances Moore Lappé is a noted social change and democracy activist and the author of 16 books, including the three-million-copy bestseller, Diet for a Small Planet (originally published in 1971). Her most recent book is Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad.  Throughout her work Lappé has argued that global hunger is caused not by the lack of food but by the inability of hungry people to gain access to the abundant amount of food that exists in the world because they are simply too poor. She has posited that our current "thin democracy" creates a misdistribution of power and resources that inevitably creates waste and an artificial scarcity of the essentials for sustainable living. Lappé makes the radical argument that what she calls "living democracy"--not only what we do in the voting booth but our daily choices of what we buy and how we live--provides a mental and behavioral framework of goods and goodness that is aligned with our basic human nature. She believes that only by "living democracy" can we effectively solve today's social and environmental crises.
