A rollicking tale of Washington lobbying that will have you in stitches and make you think twice about our government. Filled with a cast of characters only found in our nation's capital, A Feeding Frenzy in Washington is a hilarious look at the politicians, lobbyists, and assorted scalawags who work behind the scenes to create public policy. A laugh-filled work of fiction that exposes how Congress really works and a must-read for anyone who thought it couldn't get any worse.

Feeding Frenzy traces the history of the global food system and reveals the underlying causes of recent turmoil in food markets. Supplies are running short, prices keep spiking, and the media is full of talk of a world food crisis. The turmoil has unleashed some dangerous forces. Food-producing countries are banning exports even if this means starving their neighbors. Governments and corporations are scrambling to secure control of food supply chains. Powerful groups from the Middle East and Asia are acquiring farmland in poor countries to grow food for export — what some call land grabs. This raises some big questions. Can we continue to feed a burgeoning population? Are we running out of land and water? Can we rely on free markets to provide? This book reveals trends that could lead to more hunger and conflict. But Paul McMahon also outlines actions that can be taken to shape a sustainable and just food system.
