Frances Moore Lappé Quotes

• Es un momento extraordinario para estar vivo. Somos las primeras personas de nuestro planeta que tenemos opciones reales: podemos seguir matándonos unos a otros, aniquilando otras especies, echando a perder nuestro nido. Sin embargo, en todos los continentes está surgiendo una revolución de la dignidad humana. Está volviendo a unir la comunidad y nuestros lazos con la Tierra. Así que tenemos elección. Podemos elegir la muerte o la vida.

I'd spent a decade building my dream, and then it started to crumble, piece by piece - my marriage, my organization, my confidence.

• I understand, of course, that grain-fed meat is not the cause of the world hunger problem - and eating some of it doesn't directly take food out of the mouths of starving people - but it is, to me, a symbol and a symptom of the basic irrationality of a food system that's divorced from human needs. Therefore, using less meat can be an important way to take responsibility. Making conscious choices about what we eat, based on what the earth can sustain and what our bodies need, can help remind us that our whole society must begin to balance sustainable production with human need.
