  • "Hewitt is part of a venerable tradition that includes Rachel Carson, Frances Moore Lappé, Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan: All have relentlessly questioned decisions that are made for us, often without our knowing it." — Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times
  • “Hewitt is an amiable skeptic and a storyteller of rare skill who seems incapable of crafting a dull sentence.” — Barry Estabrook, Politics of the Plate/TheAtlantic.com
  • "Anyone who cares about the survival of local agriculture and its role in the economic and social dynamics of communities should consider inviting author Ben Hewitt for a presentation." — Sharon Wyrrick, filmmaker and community organizer
  • “As the industrial food system comes apart at the seams, leaving our health, prosperity, and very survival increasingly imperiled, too many pundits have diagnosed the problem without offering any workable solutions. In his extraordinary exploration of how we got into this mess, Ben Hewitt also shows a way out—a way that is affirmative, meaningful and real. If you care about the future of food in the United States, you must read The Town That Food Saved.” — Rowan Jacobsen
