This should be very interesting. I, for one, am really excited about it.
If you have a few spare minutes, it would be great if you could come and
hear Frankie speak.

>This talk should be very good. The author, Francis Lappe (Frankie) wrote
a famous cookbook, Diet for a Small Planet. The book explores food and its
relationship to social and environmental issues. Frankie has agreed to
talk in honor of earth day as well, probably on Friday, May 4th. I am
going to try to track her down today as she has not responded to my emails.
Please come to this talk.
