Features: Behind the Food—So Interesting, It’s Bound to Catch Your Attention. The topic of this book once again focuses on the important matters of our planet—those things that affect our food; genetic modification, food chains, agricultural subsidy policies, obesity, and more. Who controls what we eat? What really happens before food reaches our hands? We never take such risks with the fuel we put in our cars, but what about the fuel we put in our bodies? We’ve never taken such risks with our food. Behind the Food will help you understand what truly matters. Behind the Food is a global guide that discusses the use and abuse of land and the oceans by humanity. It addresses the major current discussions about food issues and proposes an alternative perspective that can help us live healthier lives and make the world a better place. The content of this book is rich and varied, but its core message is: Pay attention to your diet. Many foods can harm you and the environment, and governments and food producers won’t show any sympathy. This excellent read will encourage you to take responsibility for your health for nutritional reasons. In the process, you’ll not only have fun but also contribute a small part to the planet we live on. This book can be read thoroughly or sampled lightly, choosing one chapter at a time. Despite the grand scope, each chapter is concise and to the point, designed to inspire you emotionally and intellectually. A feature of this book is that at the end of some chapters, there are bibliographies and websites for further reading, though the views of these books and websites may differ from those of this book.
