Title
Diet for a Dead Planet: Christopher D. Cook
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Food in America seems at first glance bountiful and, for most, fairly inexpensive. But behind the grocery receipt, the costs of today's corporate-controlled food supply are staggering. Foodborne illnesses cost more than $30 billion a year in treatment and lost work time. We spend $78 billion annually in medical expenses for diseases associated with diet and physical inactivity -- now the second-leading cause of preventable deaths; two thirds of all Americans are overweight, 30% are medically defined as obese. Nearly $20 billion in public money goes to farm subsidy payments, two thirds of which go to the top 10% of growers. Untold millions more are spent covering emergency room costs for uninsured food-industry workers, tens of thousands of whom are injured on the job each year; and cleaning up massive animal-waste spills from factory farms, which have become the top polluter of America's waterways.
