Reviews for Hungry for Peace: How You Can Help End Poverty and War with Food Not Bombs

""" Food Not Bombs is ... rooted in belief ... that we actually can feed a hungry world while helping our planet survive... I'm delighted that Keith McHenry's book, Hungry for Peace , will help usher us toward sanity and real security."" --Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence ""It is no coincidence that Food Not Bombs has become a mainstay within countless social movements around the world... Hungry for Peace provides the tools needed to get out and--without bosses, leaders or approval--do it yourself."" --Will Potter, author, Green Is the New Red ""Sharing food is a basic human function, and peace is humankind's highest aspiration. Food Not Bombs brings both of these together in a powerful way, providing a recipe... for creating a better world right here and now."" --Randall Amster, JD, PhD, Graduate Chair of Humanities Prescott College Executive Director, Peace & Justice Studies Association ""Over and over, we hear the refrain: 'The problems are so big. How can I make a difference?' Keith McHenry and Food Not Bombs answer this question every single day, in words and actions."" --Mickey Z., author, Darker Shade of Green"
