We Can Change the World: An Intimate Journey Through the Early 1970s

Boutell, Lee: - During the Vietnam War Lee Boutell turned his back on college to open a natural foods restaurant and a honey-sweetened ice cream business without capital, on a shoestring. Through creativity, hard work and persistence, he and kindred spirits developed the restaurant as a center for activism and a profit-sharing collective in Eugene, Oregon. Promoting healthy, good tasting local foods, they were pioneers in the natural foods movement of Oregon. They took risks, broke the rules if necessary and they had the time of their lives. Lee now is married with two adult daughters and lives in Eugene as a gardener, craftsman, artist, and writer. Lee enjoys music and exploring the natural world.
