Aaron and I had our one and only fight during the process of writing this book (actually, I think that's pretty good) about the title. We initially wanted to not have a subtitle at all, but New Society insisted, and we could *not* agree. So I looked on my shelves for inspiration, and there was Rod's book, with the idea of "let's just use everything" in it. So we did - it was actually longer initially, and included the phrase "wolf at the door" which Aaron hated and I love, but some editing occurred in the final stages ;-). Yup, Rod, we ripped off your idea! Sharon Yeah, we did come up with it as a marketing gimmick – or rather, we stole Rod’s marketing gimmick.

That's what I did in coming up with my long, funky, descriptive title -- to attract people who might not have seen themselves in the mysterious short title, even though the book was about them.) Indeed, what a fabulous title. I wonder where I’ve read something like that before… ;-)

Too many people are so removed from where their food comes from - not enough food or it is too expensive? Just build more supermarkets! Good find.
