About this title

Synopsis

It is difficult to pick up a newspaper without reading about increasing food crises in much of the world or the epidemic of obesity in America. Raj Patel argues that both are symptoms of the corporate food monopoly. From seed to store to plate, Stuffed and Starved explains the steps to regain control of the global food economy, stop the exploitation of farmers and consumers, and rebalance global sustenance.

-- Guardian

`Ambitious assessment of the true cost of the global food market - social, environmental, political and, above all, human' -- Daily Mail
