From now until January 11, Writers Talking - a series of eight conversations from our archives.Diet for a Small Planet was the first major cookbook to address the environmental impact of meat production. Author Frances Moore Lappé advocated for a vegetarian lifestyle out of concerns over animal-based industries and products. She also argued that world hunger is not caused by a lack of food but by ineffective food policy. In January 2022, Frances Moore Lappé joined Lorraine Chisholm to discuss the new 50th anniversary edition of the book.
