“Everything is connected.
Food has a part to play in a
peaceful world as well as in
our world full of division and
war. Food is very connected in
our stage and condition of the
world.” – Ziggy Marley
Earlier in 2017, Ziggy Marley was the recipient
of his eighth Grammy Award, the seventh he’s
received for Best Reggae Album; this time, for
his most recent album, self-titled Ziggy Marley.
His first three albums to win this award came
when he was with the band Ziggy Marley and
the Melody Makers.
Like his parents and brothers, Ziggy uses his art
to make the world a better place. He’s doing so
with his cookbook, as well.
“The state of the world and the state of America
have a lot to do with what we eat,” he said. “The
violence and division we see in the world has a
lot to do with what we eat, too. The antibiotics
they put in animals, all of these hormones, the
synthetically modified organisms that is in our
food, the effect of it in the long run, they don’t
understand it.
“Everything is connected. Food has a part to play
in a peaceful world, as well as in our world full of
division and war. Food is very connected in our
stage and condition of the world.”
