Food provides human beings with a connection to the natural world. This research helps
to illustrate the interconnectivity of food and of the food movement as it relates to so many other
social, ecological and cultural movements. I examined the works of four authors communicating
important messages about our food; where is comes from, how it is grown, and what we need to
change about our food habits. This research also asks: what are the implications of the food
movement for environmental education and communication; have these authors discussed the
implications of our food choices in a meaningful way; and, are these books, and other similar
forms of media, indicative of a broader social movement or revolution? I believe that through
food meaningful environmental messages can be transmitted to diverse audiences and that
literature provides an effective medium in which to communicate those messages.
