WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

摘要

Joanna Blythman is a modern Joan of Arc, her crusade and all abiding passion, food quality. What sets her apart from other worthies in this field is her unique ability to make her subject relevant, readable and approachable. Two sentences of her firebrand honesty and you're hooked for life. Subtitled 'The book you cannot afford to ignore' and looking for all the world like a crime novel, (and just as absorbing) it systematically sets out to scrutinise the food we routinely buy-meat, fish, bread, fruit and veg, dairy, eggs, tea, coffee--"to see how they match up to the standards that modern consumers are increasingly demanding - safe, high quality, wholesome food produced with respect for animal welfare, food workers and the environment."
