Justice, Joy & Daily Bread
Food — it's enough to drive you bananas: you are what you eat... food
pyramids... organics... mad cow disease... animal rights... Genetically
Modified Organism (GMO).
Finally, a resource that examines food choices through the lens of faith. In
bite-sized pieces, you'll learn to recognize and celebrate food as
sacramental, consider the implications of food choices and find help to
embody love and compassion in the wider world.
In a rare collection of voices, the authors of Food & Faith
prompt us to explore the meaning of our meals. Here Vandana Shiva, Eric
Schlosser, M.F.K. Fisher, Wendell Berry and many other authors explore basic
issues related to food: its sacramental character, its connections to health,
the demise of the family farm, the human and ecological impacts of industrial
agribusiness, questions of genetically modified organisms and world hunger. A
diversity of voices and a helpful study guide point to promising directions
both individuals and communities can take to bring about a healthier and more
equitable world through the food we eat.
