Local organic food, delectable wine, good tunes and a great book too! rabble.ca invites everyone to come celebrate, talk about ideas for changing the world through food, and meet Sally Miller, the author of 'Edible Action: Food Activism & Alternative Economics,' published by Fernwood. (http://www.fernwoodpublising.ca/)"In this wonderfully readable book, Sally Miller reveals how people are taking back the economy as a space of democratic decision-making through activism around food. She looks back to the 1960s and into the future, showing how the passions and pleasures of food are fueling movements to change the way we live. Dismantling economic orthodoxy with a sure hand, she simultaneously narrates the emergence of new economic subjects and economic principles for an egalitarian world. Throughout the book Miller serves up compelling stories about slow food, fair food, free food, organic food, cooperative food, local food and food security, demonstrating that food is the key to a world of possibility - not in the distant future but here and now."
