Customer Reviews
Must-read for anyone who is concerned about health and food.
I'm telling everyone I know to read this book. It helped me see through the collusion of government and industry in relation to what we eat everyday. It also dispelled any illusions I had that consumers have that much of a choice when it comes to the food they eat and buy. It sounds like a dire subject, but it's a very entertaining read, with many useful charts, photographs, and diagrams.
