520    "A rousing call to transform the global food system by 
       choosing what's on our plates. The implausible truth: Over
       one billion people in the world are hungry and over one 
       billion are overweight. Far from complete opposites, 
       hunger and obesity are in fact different manifestations of
       the same problem: It's increasingly difficult to find and 
       eat nutritious food. By examining the global industrial 
       food system using the deceptively simple template of a 
       classic American dinner, We the Eaters not only outlines 
       the root causes of this bizarre and troubling dichotomy 
       but also provides a blueprint of actionable solutions--
       solutions that could start with changing out just a single
       item on your plate. From your burger to your soda, 
       Gustafson unpacks how even the hyperlocal can cause 
       worldwide ripples. For instance: American agricultural 
       policy promoting corn and soybeans in beef farming means 
       we feed more to cows than to hungry people. This is 
       compounded by the environmental cost of factory livestock 
       farming, rising obesity rates, and the false economics of 
       unhealthfully high meat consumption. The answer? Eat a 
       hamburger--just make it a smaller, sustainably raised, 
       grass-fed one. Gustafson--a young entrepreneur, foreign 
       policy expert, and food policy advocate--delivers a wake-
       up call that will inspire even the most passive reader to 
       take action. We can love our food and our country while 
       being better stewards of our system and our health. We the
       Eaters is nothing short of a manifesto: If we change 
       dinner, we really can change the world"--|cProvided by
