It is good. I heard Frances speak last month. Her powerful presence and
enthusiasm are contagious. She's the best speaker I've ever heard.
The book covers a lot. She writes about closed businesses and government;
letting a small group of people make important decisions for our country.
"It's a symptom of thin democracy, something done to us or for us, not by or
with us. Such democracy is always at risk of being stolen by private
interests or extremist groups, left and right."
She talks about our food supply even on such a small scale as school
gardens. I'm a school gardener. I grow food with the kids at my daughter's
school, so this particularly interested me. She also writes about sweat
shops, alternative energy, community farming and much more.

I'm reading Democracy's Edge by Frances Moore Lappe (Diet For A Small
Planet). Very interesting.
