DESCRIPTION:
The answer? Eat a hamburger; just make it a smaller, sustainably raised, grass-fed one. Gustafsona young entrepreneur, foreign policy expert, and food policy advocatedelivers a wake-up call that will inspire even the most passive listener to take action.

This books provides real insight into the challen

Encompassing the full scope of transformation from farm to fork, it's a manifesto for how we should act and unafraid of the radical change we need to get us to a sustainable future.” Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved“This book is a major lesson on the global food system and how 'we the eaters' plan an essential role in it. We the Eaters is a data-driven wake-up call to the current state of our food system and how t
