reviewed The End of Food on October 21, 2008 The End of Food
Eating. A simple pleasure we take for granted. Well, not anymore thanks to this book.
In treating food as a commodity, we have opened a Pandora's box of sorts. Our global food economy is literally on the brink of disaster. Disaster that can not only cause our food prices to rise, but cause thousands more to starve and die.
Never happen in the year 2008, you say? According to the scientists, that scenario is very possible. As the pressure to increase production and profit continues, we rely on technology and science to help us out. Will it save us or hurt us? Think of the impact on our food supply with natural disasters, border conflicts and so on. Here in the United States, we import a lot of what we eat. (How do you like that melamine milk, folks?)
Here's some food for thought as you sit down to dinner:
Starvation
Unfair trade
Salmonella
E. coli
Avain flu
Mad Cow
Pesticides
Fertilizers
Monsanto!
Food allergies
Genetically manipulated food
Meatpacking practices
Erosion (no soil, no crops)
Deforesting
I'm off to the farmer's market.
(local. organic. and sadly, expensive)
