Omschrijving
Examines the way in which modern food production has damaged the balance of human existence, and reveals that we have yet to resolve a centuries - old dilemma - one which holds the key to a host of problems, from obesity, the inexorable rise of the supermarkets, to the destruction of the natural world.
Exuberant, provocative... her desire that we understand better and think more about our food, how much we waste, how much energy it consumes and how we dispose of it... It is - in the real sense of the word - vital
Hungry City is a sinister real-life sequel to Animal Farm with the plot turned upside down by time in ways even George Orwell could not have foreseen
Lively, wide-ranging, endlessly inquisitive... Hungry City is a smorgasbord of a book: dip into it and you will emerge with something fascinating
Absolutely crammed with eye-opening facts and figures, a hugely readable account of the part we individually play in a global problem. Highly Recommended
She can précis her specialist sources briskly, and her own direct research (e.g. a mega kitchen for cooking ready meals) is lively
