What we eat and drink, how our food is grown and processed, and where it comes from are vital concerns for our health, the economy, and the well-being of the planet. In the course of the past century our food and drink supply has increasingly been controlled by mega-corporations focusing on profit over good food. Our grocery shelves are loaded with a staggering quantity and variety of products, often drawn from the far corners of the globe, but this abundance comes at a great cost.This book reveals the hidden costs behind food and drink. These include unfair and dangerous labour practices, fertiliser runoff and pesticide poisoning, transportation pollution, excess packaging, animal suffering, marketing and advertising onslaughts, as well as skyrocketing health costs due to diet-related illness such as obesity and diabetes.
