Advance Praise

"One of the most dazzling books I have read in a very long time. The product of a brilliant mind and a gift to a world hungering for justice." -- Naomi Klein

"There’s one book above all I’d like to see at the top of the bestseller lists: Raj Patel’s Stuffed and Starved from Portobello. A clear, hard-headed analysis of why and how half the world is stuffed and the other is starved. An important subject and one handled brilliantly by Patel. I hope this book will be remembered as long as Small is Beautiful and gain as much influence. Patel has written what we can only hope will be an incredibly influential critique of our food systems." -- Sue Baker, Publishing News (UK)
