ooklyn, ny guide"Diet for a Hot Planet" and Eat Well Guide: Let’s take a bite out of climate change!In "Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do AboutIt," sustainable food advocate Anna Lappé deftly connects the dots between our food system andthe climate crisis. The food system is responsible for as much as one-third of all greenhouse gasemissions. These emissions are particularly alarming because the food sector is the biggest driverbehind methane and nitrous oxide emissions, which have global warming effects many times morepowerful than carbon dioxide.What can we do to reverse this? What if changing your diet could also make an impact on globalwarming?It can! Eating well can make a difference. That means eating fresh, local, and organic foods. Itmeans supporting sustainable farmers and the restaurants and purveyors who work with thosefarms. By making changes in the way we eat, we can nourish our bodies and help heal the planet –one tasty and healthy bite at a time.Eating well is at the core of "Diet for a Hot Planet." That’s why we are so excited to team up with theEat Well Guide® to present this Guide to Good Food® for the cities that Anna will visit on her booktour.From Massachusetts to California, with stops in between, Anna will be revealing the links betweenfood and climate, and connecting with the movements across the country that are bringingsustainable food to life. Along the way, there will no doubt be stops for delicious meals at the variousspots dished up in this Guide to Good Food®. We hope to see you there!Page 1

The onlypeople the above words didn't necessarily apply to were their guests, celebrities of the day whowere invited to address the club and were heckled relentlessly once they did—the more pretentiousor self-important they were, the worse they got it. But they came anyway. Maybe it was because“Major” Moses P. Handy, the club's president, knew everyone who was anyone and was liked bythem all. Or maybe it was the challenge—if you could get over with the Clover Club, you could getover anywhere. Probably, though, they came and took their lumps because of George Boldt. Boldt,you see, was the Bellevue's manager, and—in all matters pertaining to food and drink, anyway—hewas a perfectionist.To sit at his table was worth a little ribbing.

10TAKING A BITE OUT OF CLIMATE CHANGEInterview by Gabrielle Langholtz, EditorEcologist, author, and green blueblood Anna Lappé is one of our veryfavorite Brooklynites. Her new book, Diet for a Hot Planet, says thatwe've eaten our way into climate change-and we can eat our way out.Describe life in 100 years if we continue on our current path.Scientists estimate that we're looking at an increase of asmuch as 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by century's end, and moreweather extremes like droughts and floods. Said one expert,farming in New York State could feel like farming inGeorgia.You write that the global food chain is responsible for awhopping third of what's heating the planet. Come on. A third?A third of the planet's arable land is dedicated to raisingfood for our more than 60 billion livestock animals. Factorin emissions from their waste, as well as the packaging, processing, transport, refrigeration andpreparing of the rest of our food and it adds up to as much as one third. Pretty shocking, huh?Why has food's role in global warming been all but absent from the conversation?Think about tobacco. It took decades before we had an open public conversation that cigarettes kill,because the tobacco industry engaged in a strategic campaign to undermine science. Today,emissions-spewing companies have taken a page from the tobacco playbook, pouring tens ofmillions into spreading doubt about the science of climate change. Despite the misinformation, wenow have international consensus on the severity of the climate crisis and the need for urgent action.Page 92

10(Continued from previous page)How does "personal responsibility" weigh against policy change – or lack thereof?Individual choices are important but not enough. We wouldn't berate someone for not taking thesubway to work in a city with no public transportation. Nor would we expect a lone individual toexcavate subway tunnels, purchase fuel-efficient buses or lay down tracks for high-speed rail. Whenit comes to transportation, we know we need government to invest in infrastructure.The same is true for food. We need investment in infrastructure that makes choosing locally raised,organically grown, fresh whole foods as easy as grabbing a Big Mac at the drive-through.Today, billions of taxpayer dollars support policies that make it hard, if not impossible, to chooseclimate-friendly food. In the past 12 years, we've paid $177 billion mostly to America's largestcommodity farmers. The result is a climate-destructive food system that props up feedlot meat andprocessed foods by making the key ingredients so artificially cheap.Elected officials need to know that the Farm Bill-and all food policy-is part of the solution to makeus healthier and heal the climate.It's almost 40 years since your mom wrote Diet for a Small Planet. What book might youreight-month-old daughter pen in another few decades?You mean after she writes the tell-all memoir about how her mom force-fed her homemade granola,never took her to McDonald's and made her reuse her Ziploc bags?
