Current ventures
Frances continues to reach out with the message of Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad, through writings, speeches, and radio and TV appearances. The message of Living Democracy is spreading and finding fertile ground across the country...and even overseas! She has been much in renewed demand as a commentator and writer on the world hunger crisis (given its sharp new focus as of Spring 2008).
Anna continues to tour with Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen. She also has several new book projects are underway, including a children’s book series, and a forthcoming book called Eat the Sky. She also maintains Take A Bite Out of Climate Change, (http://www.takeabite.cc/), a site and blog whose mission is “to help foster a global food system that mitigates the climate crisis, protects natural resources, and provides nourishing, safe, fairly produced food for everyone.”
In addition, both Frances and Anna continue to write short articles and blogs. You’ll find links to these throughout this site, with the very latest ones always updated and featured on our homepage/blog.

Frances on Fox News Challenges Burger King’s Global Strategist
Watch Frances on Fox News. “In this clip I argue that Burger King’s new ad campaign not only uses poor people to enrich the company but reflects a flawed business model — one that’s turned the Whopper into the Hummer of the food industry. Burger King executives, I suggest, could learn from the fate of the Hummer makers now on their knees in Washington and go for a savvy business model.”
