East, South and Southeast Asia are home to two-thirds of the world’s hungry people, but they produce more than three-quarters of the world’s fish and nearly half of other foods. Through integration into the world food system, these Asian fisheries export their most nutritious foods and import less healthy substitutes. Worldwide, their exports sell cheap because women, the hungriest Asians, provide unpaid subsidies to production processes. In the 21st century, Asian peasants produce more than 60 percent of the regional food supply, but their survival is threatened by hunger, public depeasantization policies, climate change, land grabbing, urbanization and debt bondage. *Where Shrimp Eat Better than People: Globalized Fisheries, Nutritional Unequal Exchange and Asian Hunger is now available in paperback for individual customers.

What’s the connection between a platter of jumbo shrimp at your local restaurant and murdered fishermen in Honduras, impoverished women in Ecuador, and disastrous hurricanes along America’s Gulf coast? Mangroves. Many people have never heard of these salt-water forests, but for those who depend on their riches, mangroves are indispensable. They are natural storm barriers, home to innumerable exotic creatures—from crabeating vipers to man-eating tigers—and provide food and livelihoods to millions of coastal dwellers. Now they are being destroyed to make way for shrimp farming and other coastal development. For those who stand in the way of these industries, the consequences can be deadly. In Let Them Eat Shrimp, Kennedy Warne takes readers into the muddy battle zone that is the mangrove forest. A tangle of snaking roots and twisted trunks, mangroves are often dismissed as foul wastelands. In fact, they are supermarkets of the sea, providing shellfish, crabs, honey, timber, and charcoal to coastal communities from Florida to South America to New Zealand. Generations have built their lives around mangroves and consider these swamps sacred. To shrimp farmers and land developers, mangroves simply represent a good investment. The tidal land on which they stand often has no title, so with a nod and wink from a compliant official, it can be turned from a public resource to a private possession. The forests are bulldozed, their traditional users dispossessed. The true price of shrimp farming and other coastal development has gone largely unheralded in the U.S. media. A longtime journalist, Warne now captures the insatiability of these industries and the magic of the mangroves. His vivid account will make every reader pause before ordering the shrimp.

Sam Kass, former chef to the Obamas and White House food policy advisor, makes it easier to do a little better for your diet--and the environment--every day, through smart ways to think about shopping, setting up your kitchen so the healthy stuff comes to hand most naturally, and through 90 delicious, simple recipes. JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • IACP AWARD FINALIST This book lays out Kass's plan to eat a little better. Knowing that sustainability and healthfulness come most, well, sustainably when new habits and choices seem appealing rather than drastic and punitive, Kass shares his philosophy and methods to help make it easy to choose, cook, and eat delicious foods without depriving yourself of agency or pleasure. He knows that going organic, local, and so forth all the time is just not realistic for most people, and that's ok--it's all about choosing and doing a little better, and how those choices add up to big change. It's the philosophy he helped the Obamas instill in their home, both in Chicago and that big white one in Washington.

Did you know that cavemen didn’t have cancer? They didn’t have heart disease either. Nor did they have diabetes. They didn’t even have tooth decay! Yeah, I didn’t know that shit either. My first question was, “How do ‘they’ know?” But they know. This isn’t a book about archeology or anthropology, so you’ll have to look up that research on your own, you lazy bastards. This is a book on how what many people perceive to be a “fad” diet transformed me into a healthy, skinny, ripped human machine, without much exercise at all. “Too good to be true,” you ask? “What’s this jerk-wad trying to sell me? What do I have to do, read his book, and then buy the diet plan (sold separately) to get his secret? What a rip-off artist!” Nope, nothing to buy (except this book, you cheap bastards) because I found the diet all by myself on the Internet, free of charge! There are several books out there on the Caveman Diet, also known as the Paleo Diet, but it’s so simple (a caveman could do it), and there’s so much info out there, I think those books are a rip-off. Now my next cookbook, that’s a different story altogether! Get those credit cards ready, you fat bastards, I’ve already started on my second book! You’re about to read how I, a lowly Emmy Award-winning writer/producer/voice actor/director, accidentally stumbled upon the Caveman Diet, and how it transformed my body, my mind, and my spirit, and in doing so alienated me from almost everyone! It limited the ingredients I could eat yet sparked my creativity and made me into a pretty amazing cook, if I do say so myself (’cause I certainly wasn’t when I started). Healthy eating and dieting does not mean deprivation. I promise you, if I can do this, anyone can do this. It just takes a commitment to change for the better. I am in the best shape of my life, rarely exercise, and I eat LIKE A KING!
