About this ebook
Should we all be vegan? Is organic food worth the extra cost? Which foods have the fewest harmful pesticides, and the lowest environmental impact? What exactly is a healthy diet? Can we fix our broken food system?
Our food system has become toxic: toxic to us, and toxic to our planet. Industrial use of pesticides, vast monocrops, ultra-processed foods and unmitigated waste is built into a system that is destroying the environment and our health.
But there are solutions, and lots of them. While governments stall, we all need to take responsibility for what we consume. We all have a part to play in fixing our food system.
With insight and humour, Dave Goulson cuts through the information overload to examine the tricky questions we all face, and offers an optimistic vision of a better, more stable future.
