When we walk into a supermarket| we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact| over the course of the 20th century| our food
system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh| healthy| sustainably-produced food. Fortunately for America|
an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s| where a group of political anti-corporate protesters--led by Alice
Waters--voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic
food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables. FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed
in the 20th century| and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.
