Fabulous Dinner by 5 ChefS sponsored by CIFC

[Guest guest]

The Center for Informed Food Choices cordially invites

you to attend our

Second Annual Chefs' Choice Dinner

 

With special guest speakers Frances Moore Lappé and

Anna Lappé, authors of Hope's Edge: The New Diet for a

Small Planet.

 

Frances Moore Lappé's groundbreaking Diet for Small

Planet sold three million copies in 1971, awakening us

to the devastating impacts of industrial agriculture.

Now Frances and her daughter Anna have teamed up in

Hope's Edge to bring their message to a new generation

by embarking on an inspirational global journey.

 

Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear the Lappés

share stories of how the diverse cultures they visited

are overcoming great challenges within a global food

system, as they offer their vision for a healthier

planet.
