About this title

Review

A richly absorbing account of the food industry, our health and our vulnerability. -- John Humphrys, author and broadcaster

From the Publisher

This is a book with a fascinating range, but the dominant message is: pay attention to what you eat. Much of it harms you and the environment, and neither the Government nor the food industry is on your side. This remarkable book will encourage you to take back responsibility for your own nutritional health. In the process you will not only have fun but you be doing your bit for the planet.
