If only this book was fiction. The horrifying reality of where our food comes from and the price the farming industry pays for perfectly formed and flavourless food. Felicity Lawrence's well researched books explains the extravagant network of global food distribution. The terrifying power that supermarkets have over suppliers. The unorthodox methods that farmers are driven to use to survive. From bleaching chicken and rejecting edible vegetables in poverty stricken countries. The slavery of supply factory workers, who regularly short the food we buy into regulation colour and shape, unripe and over packaged. Each chapter focuses on the key offending products chicken, salad, beans, bread, apples, bananas, coffee and prawns. And final the ready meal. It's a captivating read, a darn good diet aid and another great reason to get down to your local market.
