The Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement

&quot;[A] terrific book about a visionary post-food bank project.&quot; - <b>Michael Pollan <br><br>THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER<br></b><br>British super chef Jamie Oliver called it &quot;amazing,&quot; writing that he'd traveled all over the world and never seen anything like it. <i>New York Times </i>food writer Mark Bittman called it &quot;one of those forward-thinking groups pointing the way to the future of good food.&quot; Raj Patel, the critically acclaimed author of <i>Stuffed and Starved</i>, said he was &quot;blown away&quot; by it.<br><br>So what is it? The Stop, a Community Food Centre that has revolutionized the way we combat hunger and poverty. <br><br>Since community worker Nick Saul became the executive director of The Stop in 1998, it has been transformed from a cramped food bank to a thriving, internationally respected Community Food Centre. The Stop has flourished with gardens, kitchens, a greenhouse, farmers' markets and a mission to revolutionize our food system. In a voice that's &quot;never preachy&quot; (<i>MacLean's</i>) , Saul and Curtis share what The Stop could mean for the future of food, and argue that everyone deserves a dignified, healthy place at the table.
