Diet for a Dead Planet by Christopher D Cook
If we are what we eat, then, this book contends we are not in good shape. It takes us beyond Fast Food Nation to explain why our entire food system is in crisis. It argues for a different way of looking at what we eat - one that places healthy, sustainably-produced food at the top of the menu for a change.
It is worth considering how [Christopher Cook's] concerns apply to leafy green Ireland- IRISH INDEPENDENT Cook takes care to avoid blind alleys in order to argue for a genuinely sustainable system of making, distributing and marketing food... In calling for profound change Cook recognises the enormity of the challenge involved. - THE HERALD A comprehensive expose of the food industry that underlines the urgency of the need for change. - SOCIALIST REVIEW
