DESCRIPTION:Raj Patel, Activist; Academic; Author, Stuffed and Starved\n\nIn 
 conversation with Dan Imhoff, Author and Publisher, Food Fight; Director, 
 Watershed Media; Host, "Farm and Garden Show" \n\nStuffed: Obesity is the 
 second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and over 60 
 percent of us are considered overweight. Starved: Worldwide, nearly a 
 billion people are starving to death, and 35 million Americans went hungry 
 at some point last year. Moreover, Patel contends that the U.S.'s influence 
 in organizations like the WTO and our trade policies on issues like corn 
 ethanol fuel production have driven up food prices, and the issue of 
 starvation must be addressed at home as well as abroad. Why is there such a 
 large discrepancy between the haves and the have-nots for what  we all 
 need: food? Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved, strives to answer that 
 question by telling the tale of the global food system.\n\nLocation: Club
