Commonwealth Club Silicon Valley Presents: Raj Patel, Author of "Stuffed & Starved" June 14, 2012

Half the world is malnourished, the other half obese. Why is there such a large discrepancy between the haves and the have-nots for what we all need - food? Patel conducts a global investigation to make sense of the world food crisis and finds that “the food system is filled with choices made by a handful of powerful people, in smoke filled rooms, over the objections of the majority.” Hear a story of nefarious false choices and of international resistance movements that take you from seed to store to plate.
