Nearly 40 years after Francis Moore Lappé wrote http://www.smallplanet.org/books/item/diet_for_a_small_planet">Diet for a Small Planet[/i>—one of the first books to take a hard look at the environmental and health problems caused by the meat industry—her daughter Anna Lappé has written a book exposing how the industrial food system is contributing to climate change. In http://www.smallplanet.org/books/item/diet_for_a_hot_planet">Diet for a Hot Planet, Anna describes how are diets can be a crucial tool in the fight against global warming—and she gives a recipe for what an environmentally sustainable diet should look like, including more locally grown foods and eating less meat.
