Search - Raj Patel :: Stuffed and Starved

On this audio CD lecture, Patel talks about his comprehensive investigation into the global food network while writing his best-selling book of the same name. It took him from the colossal supermarkets of California to India's wrecked paddy fields and Africa's bankrupt coffee farms, while along the way he ate genetically engineered soy beans and dodged flying objects in the protestor-packed streets of South Korea. What he found was shocking, from the false choices given us by supermarkets to a global epidemic of farmer suicides, and real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa.
