Description
Book SynopsisIt's not easy to eat well. To choose food wisely, you need to know where it comes from and how it's produced. As consumers, most of us don't know what we're getting and eating in our supermarkets and restaurants. When rumours and food scares circulate in the media, we panic.
Trade Review"Two French farmers, passionate about growing and eating good food, make excellent spokesmen in the crusade to raise awareness of the downward spiral of food quality as industrialisation and globalisation take over."
