In this collection of thirteen provocative essays, Wendell Berry
discusses the pleasures of eating. Gretel Ehrlich describes her
struggle to produce clean, lean beef on her ranch in Wyoming.
Frances Moore Lappe sets for her vision of a system that is
environmentally, economically, and culturally sustainable. Wes
Jackson condemns the shortsighted bottom line goals of modern
agribusiness. Alice Waters recounts the early days of her famous
Bay Area restaurant's painstaking pursuit of a supply chain of
reliably good ingredients, and Gary Nabhan discusses food, health
and Native American agriculture. They are joined by Bruce Brown,
Edward Behr, Paul Gruchow, Mark Kramer, Anne Mendelson and Will
Weaver.In this remarkable collection, these essays link a decline
in the quality of food with a historical deterioration of the
quality of American farm life, while making it clear that "food
that tastes good and is good for you is not just a private
indulgence but a force for sustaining families and
communities."First published by The Journal of Gastronomy, it is a
pleasure to see this seminal, groundbreaking anthology back into
print, now with a new introduction by Mary Berry, founding
directory of the Berry Center.
