The Power of the Plate: A Balanced Diet of Pleasure, Health, Environmental Sustainability and Global Justice

The Power of the Plate is a handbook for well meaning but confused citizens who want to make responsible, sustainable food choices. The premise of the book is that there is a direct connection between what we buy and eat and the physical, environmental and socio-political problems facing the global community. It promotes stewardship of the land, ecologically sound food production and encourages a revival of the kitchen and table as centers of pleasure, culture and community. By offering a balanced overview of the major issues it goes beyond the hype of the organic movement and helps readers understand where they can make a true difference.
