Everyone should read this book, to realize how much we not hesitate to poison us for money! (The chapter on swine breeding gives really hurt the heart). But the book also tackles the obesity in our society comes not only that junk food but what we give to animals (very interesting chapter that gives new light) on pesticides in water and our food, growing tomatoes, corn, apple and potato. This is a real cycle of poisoning that Saporta highlights!
Prior to force us to pay environmental taxes, sorting our garbage and make us feel guilty of global warming or its overweight, it would first have to state snaps into question this agriculture that consumes our natural water resources his boundless pollution, its astronomical costs and its alarming consequences on our health. And say that this year has reduced by half the subsidies (already limited) to farmers to help our organic label chemical agriculture murders.
As for the book itself, it is very well written, easy to read, very well structured. Saporta with a cynical edge that always falls in spades underlines the incoherence of farming methods and the hypocrisy of institutions that implement these expensive systems to our ecology virtually nonexistent results.
In short, buying a book to awaken our consciousness on this poisoning that we suffer without knowing when we buy our products in supermarkets and when you're done, do not hesitate to lend it to your relatives, neighbors or friends This is a real gesture for humanity!
