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.
