Description
The journalist and author of The Food Revolution offers a collection of essays on food politics, sustainability, and revolution. With words like food additives, GMOs, and Big Food buzzing around, it’s getting harder to choose what to eat. Even the most well-informed eaters could learn a thing or two about real food and the food system. Gathering and updating articles from his Huffington Post column, celebrated food politics journalist John Robbins presents his most recent observations along with never before published material. With commentaries on what we should and shouldn’t eat, Robbins brings us to the frontlines of today’s food revolution. From his undercover investigations of feedlots and slaughterhouses, to the slave trade behind chocolate and coffee, he gives readers a look into the importance of working for a more compassionate and environmentally responsible world. In No Happy Cows, you’ll learn about: · Greed and salmonella · Soy and Alzheimer's · Vitaminwater deception · And much more!
