In EcoMind, Frances Moore Lappe--a giant of the environmental
movement--confronts accepted wisdom of environmentalism. Drawing on
the latest research from anthropology to neuroscience and her own
field experience, she argues that the biggest challenge to human
survival isn't our fossil fuel dependency, melting glaciers, or
other calamities. Rather, it's our faulty way of thinking about
these environmental crises that robs us of power. Lappe dismantles
seven common thought traps--from limits to growth to the failings
of democracy-- that belie what we now know about nature, including
our own, and offers contrasting thought leaps that reveal our
hidden power. Like her Diet for a Small Planet classic, EcoMind is
challenging, controversial and empowering.
Stormy debates about genetically engineered (GE) food have raged
throughout the world in recent years, and the issue is now more
potent than ever. Seventy to eighty percent of processed foods now
sold in supermarkets contain genetically engineered ingredients,
and the trend is growing at a startling rate. This second,
completely revised edition of Genetically Engineered Food is an
all-in-one guide written specifically to help consumers educate
themselves about the risks posed by GE foods. Ronnie Cummins and
Ben Lilliston, both leading consumer advocates, provide
comprehensive, up-to-the-minute, action-inspiring information,
including how to identify GE foods, products to avoid, brands that
are GE-free, and how to shop and act with a purpose. They discuss
all of the ethical, environmental, and health arguments against GE
food, how these foods are being regulated in the United States and
abroad, and why consumers are right to oppose them. Genetically
Engineered Foods is the first and still one of the few
consumer-oriented guides addressing this important subject.
