Synopsis

A Modest Menu looks beyond the measurable aspects of poverty, hunger, global land use and food security, waste and pollution, human trafficking, exclusion, and the myriad other challenges which affect our lives, and will impact our future. A varied selection of essays, poetry and short stories shed light of conditions shared by those most impacted by lack of inclusion, based upon the author’s own travels, observations, research, and work among hundreds of people, groups, and cultures around the world we share. Several scalable projects which were developed and implemented by the author in local communities around the world are also presented within these pages. A Modest Menu does not present an exhaustive summarization of data, nor vast collections of proposed solutions, but, mainly, an accessible collection of writings intended to engage readers, and encourage dialogue about contemporary questions on poverty, hunger, ethics and inclusion, as well as offering some possible responses to needs, and a bit of future-casting for fans of science-fiction as well.
