Description
Why Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan, and other slow-food-loving locavores are wrong about food in America--and why Waffle House can save us all.

"This book is sustenance for your mind as it imagines more democratic and delightful ways we can all fill our stomachs." --Astra Taylor, author of Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone

The food industry is a major driver of climate change, pollution, obesity, animal suffering, and workplace exploitation. Many food writers blame the industrial food system and tell individual eaters to fix these problems by buying local, artisanal food from small farmers--a solution most Americans can't afford.

But, as food-policy experts Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel Rosenberg remind us, modern technology has made food more affordable, abundant, varied, and tastier than at any other time in history. In Feed the People!, they argue that modern food pleasures like Waffle House waffles, and the industrial systems that make them possible, are actually good. With smart technology and commonsense policies, we can make them even better.

Dutkiewicz and Rosenberg have traveled around the United States to find the people changing the way we make and eat food, from the innovators behind plant-based burgers to the cooks serving free school lunches to the labor organizers unionizing fast food joints. They show that building a food system that works for everyone will take more than just eating your vegetables.

Feed the People! invites you to sit at the table and join this delicious movement.
