    Diet for a Small Planet Twentieth Anniversary Edition Frances Moore Lapp6 Illustrations by Marika Hahn BAUANTINE BOOKS NEW YORK Part I11 Diet for a Small Planet Revisited America's Experimental Diet To EAT THE typical American diet is to participate in the biggest experiment in human nutrition ever conducted. And the guinea pigs aren't faring so well! With a higher percent of our GNP spent on medical care than in any other industrial country and after remarkable advances in the understanding and cure of disease, the life expectancy of a forty-year-old American male in 1980 was only about six years longer than that of his counterpart of 1900. Why haven't our wealth and scientific advances done more for our health? Medical authorities now believe that a big part of the answer lies in the new American diet-an untested diet of high fat, high sugar, low fiber, which is now linked to six of the ten leading causes of death. (See Figure 4.) The first two editions of this book are. full of nonmeat recipes, just as this one is. But in my discussion of nutrition I stuck to the protein debate because I wanted to demon- strate that we didn't need a lot of meat (or any, for that matter) to get the protein our bodies need. Now I think I missed the boat, for the Diet for a Small Planet message can't be limited to meat. At root its theme is, how can we choose a diet that the earth's resources can sustain and that 118 / Diet for a Small Planet Revisited America's Experimental Diet / 1 19 can best sustain our bodies? To answer that, I had to inves- tigate more than meat.

I was taught to hunt and fish by my grand- father and father, gathered berries with my family, developed a taste for many wild foods, and enjoyed a wide assortment of produce from the family garden. These experiences expanded my enjoyment of food be- yond the traditional fish, potato, and cabbage fare on the eastern coast of Canada. I was also exposed to the processed and “fast” foods then rising in cultural prominence. Following the tradition of leaving Cape Breton/Unama’ki because of the economic conditions there, I have lived in urban areas across Canada for much of my life. Over the ensuing years I have had a keen interest in the relationship between food and culture, nutrition and health. While learning to appreciate the global diversity of food traditions from my culturally diverse friends, I have been concurrently dismayed by the dra- matic changes in dietary habits associated with consumer culture.
