Eating Democracy

Description

Eating Democracy is the story of eaters from diverse backgrounds and locations. Some of them are city dwellers, others remote, some on low incomes, single or with large families to feed. Some are students, others work in hospitality or the arts, are academics or have professional careers. Some are couples with more choice, higher incomes, or living in areas where choice is more abundant. They each have different skills, abilities and choices when it comes to food. However, the eaters in this book share a common theme of helping to transform the food system as individuals determined to make a change. These are eaters who care about the food they consume, where they source it from, how it is grown, prepared and eaten.
