Review Quote	We all need to pay more attention to what we are (and are no longer) eating… Dan Saladino inspires us to believe that turning the tide is still possible.
Other text	A rallying cry to us all to protect the world's diversity before it's too late. But this is also a book filled with optimism; it captures the energy of a global movement of people dedicating their lives to saving the plants, the animals, the flavours and the food knowledge we must preserve.
