Diet For A Small Planet: 50 Years Revisited with Frances Moore Lappé

November 02, 2021

“Hope is power. Hope is what gets us into action.” Kathy is honored to welcome Frances Moore Lappé, the author of the groundbreaking book Diet for a Small Planet, to the podcast to celebrate the book’s 50th Anniversary Edition release. In a timely and urgent conversation, they talk about:

  • How Frances spoke out against eating animals 50 years ago, when plant-based eating was a “fringe” movement
  • The devastating environmental impacts of meat and dairy production, both then and now
  • Working with her daughter, Anna Lappé, to establish the Small Planet Institute
  • The one holdout Frances has about going vegan (Hint: it’s a certain type of cheese!)


To follow the Small Planet Institute, find them on Instagram and Facebook.
