In this episode, we’ll begin by speaking with Twilight Greenaway, senior editor at Civil Eats, and then have a conversation with Frances Moore Lappe, author of the 50th anniversary edition of Diet for a Small Planet, and her daughter and contributor, Anna Lappé. Both conversations take different looks at what we eat, how we eat, and the climate crisis.
