Diet for a Small Planet
Diet for a Small Planet is a 1971 bestselling book by Frances Moore Lappé, the first major book to note the environmental impact of meat production as wasteful and a contributor to global food scarcity. She argued for environmental vegetarianism, which means choosing what is best for the earth and our bodies — a daily action that reminds us of our power to create a saner world.
The book has sold over three million copies and was groundbreaking for arguing that world hunger is not caused by a lack of food but by ineffective food policy. In addition to information on meat production and its impact on hunger, the book features simple rules for a healthy diet and hundreds of meat-free recipes. "Its mix of recipes and analysis typified radicals' faith in the ability to combine personal therapy with political activism."

Small Planet
by: Ferraby LionheartI was born a world ago
On top of rocks and under snow
In the corner of your eye
I tried to hold your hand
You could count the flowers here
We've got no time for drinkin' beer
We took a walk around this afternoon
And a year had gone away, a year had gone away
You're all that I've got
This planet's small enough for two
Take whatever you want
I won't forget to remember I know you
like a fox outside the sand
I tame your heart with a careful hand
And we talk about a life we both will understand.
You're all that I've got
This planet's small enough for two
Take whatever you want
I won't forget to remember I know you
You're all that I've got
This town ain't good enough for you
Take whatever you want
