Food & Faith: Justice, Joy and Daily Bread

By Diane Ackerman and Michael Schut

Book Overview

In a rare collection of voices, the authors of Food and Faith prompt us to explore the meaning of our meals. Here Vandana Shiva, Eric Schlosser, M.F.K. Fisher, Wendell Berry and many other authors explore basic issues related to food: its sacramental character, its connections to health, the demise of the family farm, the human and ecological impacts of industrial agribusiness, questions of genetically modified organisms and world hunger. A diversity of voices and a helpful study guide point to promising directions both individuals and communities can take to bring about a healthier and more equitable world through the food we eat.
