Sample Book Insights:
#1 The modern food system is rooted in the concerns of food production companies, which have ramifications far beyond what appears on supermarket shelves.
#2 The alternative to eating the way we do today promises to solve hunger and diet-related disease, by offering a way of eating and growing food that is environmentally sustainable and socially just.
#3 The way we read bodies has not kept up with the times. The assumption that to be overweight is to be rich no longer holds. Obesity can no longer be explained exclusively as a curse of individual affluence.
#4 The food industry is constantly coming up with new products that are more profitable, but less nutritious. There are natural limits to our choices, but advertising can persuade us to expand them.
