by Emily Echols

The worldwide food system has collapsed. Much of the world’s population starved or died of food-born illness. Farming becomes impossible. Out of the ruins a savior arises. Dr. James Jasper creates a food substitute called EZ Meal that saves humanity from complete annihilation. In the midst of the ensuing chaos, Jasper Industries becomes a worldwide power controlling the only known food source.

But EZ Meal isn’t the only way. A small secret community finds a way to farm and cook food. The Foodies are convinced that humanity needs food for more than nourishment. They’re waiting for the right time to strike against Jasper Industries.

Maureen Baker is an outsider. She’s already lost her library privileges for radical thinking when she learns that her friend, Matthew Miller, has joined the Foodies. Her life is altered forever when she resolves to find them. As her mission advances she uncovers a conspiracy, falls in love and saves humanity.

[Carole Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a Goodreads win for me. This is not a Genre I usually read, but I really enjoyed this book. Very interesting story about a place without food and the ramifications. There were definitely some hidden meanings. It was a totally unexpected ending and I won't say more.
