Crazy Eddie's Motie News: The local and global politics of food with Raj Patel and Jamie Oliver


Another two for one.

Book recommendation: Stuffed and Starved



Stuffed and Starved
Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World’s Food System

In this book, Raj Patel gives a piercing critique of the way global capitalism shapes what humans grow and eat, exposing many of the flaws in the food system that contribute to collapse and what can be done about it. It's also an entertaining and informative read and Raj Patel is a charming and compelling person who knows his gin.
