After reading each of her books: Hope's Edge (that she co-authored with her mother, Frances Moore Lappé), Grub (that she co-authored with Bryant Terry), and now her new book, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It , I've felt hopeful and energized. Not Anna Lappé's books.

And a book that had a lot of influence on me early on was Frances Moore Lappe's book, Food First , which basically concludes that hunger and poverty around the developing world are not a function of overpopulation and not enough food production, but rather are the result of a poor distribution of resources.

In addition to co-authoring Grub with Bryant Terry, Anna also co-authored Hope's Edge with her mother Frances Moore Lappé and is a co-founder, with her mother, of the Small Planet Fund , and a founding principal of the Small Planet Institute , based in Cambridge Massachusetts.

Social media has amplified the impact of social proof, which is word of mouth, which is hugely important for that know, like, and trust factor. It’s super fun.
