Every morning millions of people start of their day with a bowl of cereal, but now they are paying more than ever for their breakfast.

Raj Patel launched a comprehensive investigation into the global food network to determine how we’ve come to this point. He answers several pressing questions, including why 800 million people are starving while over a billion people are overweight worldwide and who really controls what we eat.

What he found will shock you… but there are still things that we can do.

CREDENTIALS: Raj Patel has worked for the World Bank, WTO, the UN and Food First. He also wrote the book STUFFED AND STARVED: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System (Melville House Publishing, 2008).
