New York and Anna Lappe

Hello everyone,
I had a great time in New York earlier this month visiting with old friends and meeting new friends. As always I enjoyed teaching the interns at The Clinton Foundation in Harlem.
I want to tell you about an amazing young woman, Anna Lappe (I wish I could figure out how to put the ' above the e on Lappe.) Anna is co-founder of the Small Planet Institue which "supports grass roots changemakers around the world addressing root causes of hunger and poverty." She is also the author of two very well received books. The first is Hope's Edge, coauthored with her mother Frances Moore Lappe, which chronicles social movements around the world. Her latest book is Grub, an expose (there is that ' above the e again; someone help me with this!) about the fake food lining our supermarket shelves and how to make reasonable changes to make our bodies and world healthier. It is full of wonderful recipes and even great music suggestions. Anna has co-authored this book with her friend Bryant Terry. It's a lively book and one which I'm sure you'll enjoy reading.
More to follow!
