Book Review -- Animal, Vegetable, Junk

Mark Bittman presents the history of mankind through food – how food is linked to colonialism, slavery, western expansion through Manifest Destiny, genocide, and famine.

Included is a look at what we eat, how food is grown, and the prevalence of junk food in the modern diet. And finally how systemic food reform through an agroecological perspective would help to improve how food is grown, what is eaten, and also create a healthier planet.

Readable and riveting with much food for thought.
