The End of Food: How the Food Industry Is Destroying Our Food Supply - and What You Can Do About It

by Thomas Pawlick

D&M Publishers, Inc. | May 18, 2006 | Trade Paperback

Disaster looms in our current method of food production. The vitamin, mineral, and nutritional content of food is in shocking decline, a decline that is coupled with an equally shocking increase in the most noxious, often outright toxic contaminants in our food. Based on hard scientific research, The End of Food exposes the cause of this crisis -- and industrial system of food production geared not to producing nourishing food, but to producing minimum profit for corporations.

Pawlick does not simply sound the alarm bell -- he advocates a rejection of the current food production system. His mission is to raise consumer awareness so that individuals will no longer buy foods that are produced for the highest profit rather than for nutritional content.

Hard to swallow

Anonymous

6 years ago

I read the book based upon hearing a brief radio interview with the author on CBC. The shocking part of the entire book and the interview is that it appears no one is listening. Pawlick has so many logical points, research data and historical information to back-up his arguments, but, it appears until this book reaches the best seller list and a fifth printing nothing will happen.
I found it hard to swallow my fried chicken. Even harder to pay the price demanded for the fresh vegetables in the store. Pawlick got it right when he prompted me with "What you can do about it". I decided to change somethings. I bought free run eggs this week. I bought organic fruit and currently I'm looking for a farmer - a real farmer - to buy my chicken and beef. I encourage everyone to read this book and decide for yourself it it makes sense. Then do something about it.
