It deals with the topics of organic food, GM foods, obesity, growing old, the integrity of food research, global warming, global malnutrition, consumer perception of food-bourne risk, our gut bacteria, and how nutrition during pregnancy primes us for health in later life. Each chapter presens multiple arguments and comes to a well-supported conclusion. Mike Gibney provides interesting examples, reports and stories from many countries."$c--from the publisher.
