Is Our Food Killing Us?

This primer from acclaimed food writer Joy Manning looks at the world of production of food, as well as our collective consumption of it, and how it has become harmful on many different levels. The book explores global food consumption and production on a macro level, by looking at ways the food systems are harmful at the production level with pesticides, monocultures and more, as well as hard reality of the market for junk food that contains no nutritional value but is made to be addictive.

The author looks into how one damages one’s body, spirit, and planet — an inflamed world outside the body and inside it. She also considers some ways in our personal lives to be more mindful of global systems and ways in which individuals can impact a little bit of change in their choices and make healthier decisions.
