From the Back Cover
Drawing on and distilling the extensive research of the Institute for Food and Development Policy (FoodFirst), Lappe, Collins, and Rosset examine head-on the policies and politics that have kept hungry people from feeding themselves around the world, in both Third- and First-World countries, as well as the misconceptions that have obscured our own national, social, and humanitarian interests. Written in a straightforward, easy-to-read style, World Hunger: Twelve Myths shakes many tenaciously held beliefs; but most important, it convinces readers that by standing together with the hungry we can advance not only humanitarian interests, but our own well-being.
