The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America's Underground Food Movements by Sandor Ellix Katz
In The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved, author Sandor Ellix Katz profiles grassroots activists who are taking on Big Food, creating meaningful alternatives, and challenging the way many Americans think about food. From community-supported local farmers, community gardeners, and seed saving activists, to underground distribution networks of contraband foods and food resources rescued from the waste stream, this book shows how ordinary people can resist the dominant system, revive community-based food production, and take direct responsibility for their own health and nutrition. About Sandor Ellix KatzSandor Ellix Katz, a self-taught fermentation experimentalist, wrote Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods in order to spread the fermentation wisdom he had learned, and demystify home fermentation. Live fermented foods are critically important to human health, and are central elements of many different culinary traditions.Following the publication of Wild Fermentation, Katz embarked upon a tour to spread "fermentation fervor" and has taught more than 100 hand-on fermentation workshops around the U.S. and Australia. Through these workshops, Katz met many different food activists—varied in their specific projects but united by a passion to bring food back to earth—who inspired him to write The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America's Underground Food Movements.

Food in America is cheap and abundant, yet the vast majority of it is diminished in terms of flavor and nutrition, anonymous and mysterious after being shipped thousands of miles and passing through inscrutable supply chains, and controlled by multinational corporations. In our system of globalized food commodities, convenience replaces quality and a connection to the source of our food. Most of us know almost nothing about how our food is grown or produced, where it comes from, and what health value it really has. It is food as pure corporate commodity. We all deserve much better than that.
"Kevin and I created Health Book Summaries (HBS) in order to bring the abundant knowledge of top health authors to the millions of people who want to get more health knowledge in less time. HBS is designed for people who want to read all the top health books, but don't have time to. With HBS, you only need a few minutes a week!"
