Critics Review
“Emily King offers us power. She lays out – with engaging, fast-paced prose – why and how our food choices matter. As King makes the connections, our ‘food system’ is no longer an abstraction.

Thank you, Emily!” —FRANCES MOORE LAPPÉ, author or co-author of 20 books on food, hunger and democracy, beginning with her 3-million-copy Diet for a Small Planet
