Eating

This rousing call to action for healthy, conscious eating is an inspirational

primer for those who want to move beyond packaged and processed food toward a

more responsible and sustainable way of eating. Many people are learning about

the political ramifications of what they eat, but don't know how to change their

habits or expand their kitchen repertoire to include meatless dishes. This

compendium offers a straightforward overview of the political issues surrounding

food, and a culinary toolkit to put principles into practice. Without resorting

to faux meat, fake cheese, or obscure ingredients, the recipes focus on fresh,

local, minimally processed ingredients that sustain farmers, animals, and the

entire food chain. Instead of a rigid set of recipes to be replicated, it offers

tips for improvisation, creative thinking in the kitchen, practical suggestions

for cooking on a budget, and quick and delicious vegan and vegetarian meal

options for anyone who wants to eat fast, tasty, nutritious food every day.

" Overwhelmed by all the politics on your plate? Paralyzed by guilt every time

you shop for food? In this swift and delectable guide, Lisa Jervis shows not

just how easy it can be to eat with your conscience and with the planet, but

also how delightful it is to feel at home in the kitchen. " --Raj Patel, author

of Stuffed and Starved
