FOOD FOR THE WORLD.
Worldwide, there is enough food produced to provide daily meals of
at least 4.3 pounds to every person on the planet. But despite that,
almost 800 million people don't get enough to eat. Why is hunger so
pervasive and what can be done about it? These are the questions
addressed in World Hunger: Twelve Myths. In this completely revised
second edition, Frances Moore Lappe dispels commonly held misconceptions
about hunger and examines its relationship to food production,
economics, politics and the environment. Available for $13 from Grove
Press.
