Shopping Our Way to Safety: How We Changed from Protecting the Environment to Protecting Ourselves - Hardcover
Synopsis
Many Americans today rightly fear that they are constantly exposed to dangerous toxins in their immediate environment: tap water is contaminated with chemicals; foods contain pesticide residues, hormones, and antibiotics; even the air we breathe, outside and indoors, carries invisible poisons. Yet we have responded not by pushing for governmental regulation, but instead by shopping. Andrew Szasz examines this phenomenon in Shopping Our Way to Safety.
