Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food Is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, And Poorer-And What You Can Do About It (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This book as well as the documentary has to be one of my all time favorites as you can tell by my 5-star rating. I have watched the documentary 3 time and decided that it would be an even better idea to read the actual book, and I was right. This book is gripping, it makes you and angry and sad at the same time. Not many people know about our food, and our food is what keeps us alive. it's so informational and compelling. the entire time while reading this book your thinking, "I need to do something, I have to do something, I want to help change this." The book talks about all of the stages as to where our food comes from. it talks about our nation's slaughterhouses, our Genetically Modified food, our fruits and vegetable that are sprayed with pesticides, and how these corporations will do nothing to change this problem, because all they really want is the $$$. I will be honest I saw the documentary a couple years back and I loved it. I am not that sure what took so long for me to FINALLY pick up this book. This book is an anthology of articles and essays on the topic of food production in the U.S. It is a companion book to the recent documentary of the same name.I really liked this book, if you want to learn about the food that US food industry is feeds us this is great starting point. I goes into the backgrounds of so many industries. It shows how large of a roll the politics does place in the food industry. in the end the morale of the book is it is out choice. Choose wisely, and educate yourself about where our 'food' comes from. It is horrifying. The good news is, you can opt out of this system today. The bad news is, you probably won't. I know that it's been difficult for me to change many years of bad eating habits. I've made some real progress, but I still have a long way to go.
