This October, Michael Pollan (author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food, and Food Rules, and other books), and Barbara Kowalcyk (she became a major campaigner for food safety after her son died following an E. coli infection in 2001-you might recall her in Food, Inc.) will receive The Lennon Ono Grant for Peace.
The Lennon Ono Grant for Peace, awarded every other year, was created in 2002 to keep John Lennon's peaceful spirit and "dedication to human rights" alive, Telegraph UK reports.
Past recipients of the grant are Josh Fox, the writer-director of Gasland, and Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, who recently has written about her time in Gaza.
