Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism (California Studies in Food and Culture, 5)

Marion Nestle

University of California Press, 2003

Excellent
"Safe Food" is a terrific look at the issues involved in keeping our food supply uncontaminated. It is also a look behind the scenes at how our democracy really works, and it's not a pretty sight. Corporations choosing profits over public health, government representatives more often than not siding with industry rather than consumers, corruption, greed, and ineptitude are all part of this ...

A BRILLIANT JOB OF UNTANGLING A COMPLEX WEB
This book is a page-turner - and not just because it shows all the twists and turns that went on behind the scenes in the pet food recall. It is an eye-opener about the lack of government oversight or pet food company responsibility for what goes into pet food or how it is made. Just as the title makes clear, this is not a book about pet food manufacture and ingredients - that is the book the ...
