DESCRIPTION:Stuffed And Starved:  Raj Patel On The Politics Of Global Food 
 Production\n\n\nFriday May 16, 2008\n\n7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.\n\n\nCody's 
 Bookstore\n2201 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley\n510-559-9500\n\nFree 
 admission\n\nhttp://www.codysbooks.com\nhttp://www.stuffedandstarved.org\n\n\n"One 
 of the most dazzling books I have read in a very long time. The product of 
 a brilliant mind and a gift to a world hungering for justice."\n—Naomi 
 Klein, author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine.\n\nHalf the world is 
 malnourished, the other half obese—both symptoms of the corporate food 
 monopoly. To show how a few powerful distributors control the health of the 
 entire world, Raj Patel conducts a global investigation. What he uncovers 
 is shocking—the real reasons for famine in Asia and Africa, an epidemic 
 of farmer suicides, and the false choices and conveniences in supermarkets. 
 Yet he also finds hope—in international resistance movements working to 
 create a more democratic, sustainable, and joyful food system. From seed to 
 store to plate, STUFFED AND STARVED explains the steps to regain control of 
 the global food economy, stop the exploitation of farmers and consumers, 
 and rebalance global sustenance.\n\nRaj Patel, a fellow with Food First, a 
 leading food think tank, is a visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley Center 
 for African Studies. He has written for the Los Angeles Times and the 
 Guardian, and though he has worked for the World Bank, WTO, and the UN, 
 he's also been tear-gassed on four continents protesting them.\n\n
