— Margaret Mead, Jeanette Rankin, Barbara Ward, Dorothy Day — who took it upon themselves to pump life into basic truths. Frances Moore Lappé is among them. The Washington Post
Frances Moore Lappé’s 1971 three-million-copy bestseller, Diet for a Small Planet, awakened a whole generation to the human-made causes of hunger and the significance of our everyday choices in creating the world we want.
In 2002, Lappé—author of thirteen books—released the 30th anniversary sequel to Diet, written with her daughter, Anna Lappé: Hope’s Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet. In it, the two Lappés pick up where the original Diet leaves off. Together, they set out on a round-the-world journey to explore the greatest challenges we face at the new millennium. Traveling to Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, they sought answers to the most urgent question of our time—whether we can go beyond today’s consumerism and the isolation of me-first capitalism to find paths we each can walk that will heal our lives and the planet.
