Bridges the gap between global farmers and fishermen and
American consumers
America now imports twice as much food as it did a decade ago.
What does this increased reliance on imported food mean for the
people around the globe who produce our food? Kelsey Timmerman set
out on a global quest to meet the farmers and fisherman who grow
and catch our food, and also worked alongside them: loading lobster
boats in Nicaragua, splitting cocoa beans with a machete in Ivory
Coast, and hauling tomatoes in Ohio. Where Am I Eating?
tells fascinating stories of the farmers and fishermen around the
world who produce the food we eat, explaining what their lives are
like and how our habits affect them.
This book shows how what we eat affects the lives of the people
who produce our food. Through compelling stories, explores the
global food economy including workers rights, the global food
crisis, fair trade, and immigration.
* Author Kelsey Timmerman has spoken at close to 100 schools
around the globe about his first book, Where Am I Wearing: A
Global Tour of the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our
Clothes
* He has been featured in the Financial Times and has discussed
social issues on NPR's Talk of the Nation and Fox News Radio
Where Am I Eating? does not argue for or against the
globalization of food, but personalizes it by observing the hope
and opportunity, and sometimes the lack thereof, which the global
food economy gives to the world's poorest producers.
