Despite this dire situation, most people have little idea how to eat differently, or healthier.</p><p>In <i>Recipe for America</i>, food activist Jill Richardson shows how sustainable agriculture&#8212;where local farms raise food that is healthy for consumers and animals and does not damage the environment&#8212;offers the only solution to America&#8217;s food crisis.
