Not on the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate -20% off UK List Price
Published 27-5-04
Did you know... That half the chicken on sale in UK supermarkets is contaminated with campylobacter, which causes food poisoning? That much of the chicken we eat has been illicitly injected with pork and beef proteins? That ready-to-eat bagged salad has been washed in a solution of chlorine twenty times stronger than that of a swimming pool; that the processing destroys the vitamin content; that in one government study 13.5% of bagged salads were found to contain E coli bacteria? That perhaps 30% of the workforce in the food industry is in the UK illegally, controlled by a violent mafia-style network of gangmasters and paid far less than the minimum wage? That the average Briton has between 300 and 500 chemicals in their body not present 50 years ago, many of which are capable of hormone disruption in the womb? That the incidence of obesity in the UK trebled between 1980 and 1998 to 21% of women and 17% of men. Almost one third of children are obese or overweight? That 30-40% of cancers could be prevented through better diet? A devastating expose of the state of the food production industry in Britain, Not On The Label will change the way we eat and the way we think about what we eat. Looking at some of our most popular foods, the author sytematically exposes their production and marketing, showing how the food industry causes ill health, environmental damage, urban blight - and starves smallholders in Africa and Asia, and exploits illegal labourers in Britain. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...okingandfit-21 Please Note that any discounts mentioned above may change from time to time Thankyou for looking |
