End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It

Horticultural Horrors and "Fantasy" Foods.

Favorable review: enlightening. "Horticultural Horrors and "Fantasy" Foods, You Decide the Future. "Efficient" mass production, not flavor or nutritional value, decides which varieties survive. - This is a quote from the book, The End of Food, with author Thomas F. Pawlick and this quote is in reference to the fruits and vegetables that are chosen for planting to be produced for consumers. Mr. Pawlick gives his readers an in-depth account of how our food supply is determined, that is what foods will be grown or "manufactured" for consumer consumption. How safe is our food supply? What fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides are being sprayed on our food? What is the nutritional value of our food? Has the nutritional value of our food increased or decreased over the last 50 to 60 years? Many questions such as these are addressed in this book. A great wealth of knowledge and information are provided along with evidence to support the thoughts of the author. *Insightful. *Informative. *An eye-opener. *A reminder of information you may have read in other printed media. **Think about this, are we being given fresh, raw, flavorless, tasteless, lower vitamin & mineral fruits & vegetables to "enjoy" on our plates? *Just something to ponder. Further reading on this topic is in the book, Grub, also from 2006."
