Food Fighters is a tale of love, business and contemporary politics.  The setting is "Rolling Fields," a leading chain of natural food stores.  It's the story of Emma, a young entrepreneur, and Javier, a former journalist from Colombia, who is seeking asylum in the U.S. and works at Rolling Fields to make ends meet.

Emma is the founder of a small, start-up company selling a line of organic kefir.  In order to attract investors and wider distribution, she must get it into the trend-setting Rolling Fields and then demonstrate that it’s a hit with customers.  She will have to run a gauntlet that includes a duplicitous store manager with a hidden agenda and a ruthless competitor who will stop at nothing to see her fail.

Until Emma’s appearance, Javier is leading a quiet life, working at Rolling Fields and awaiting the disposition of his asylum case.    He pines for his homeland but knows that it is unsafe to return.   With Emma’s arrival, his life will once again be turned upside down.  They will forge a bond that is as powerful as it is surprising - and for which Javier will end up risking it all.
