Food Poison: How American Industry Contaminated Global Diets delves into the pervasive influence of the American food industry on global diets and public health. This comprehensive exploration examines how the industrialization of food, characterized by the widespread use of additives, preservatives, and processed ingredients, has led to a global health crisis. Through detailed case studies of major corporations like Monsanto, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz, and Johnson & Johnson, the book reveals how these companies' practices have spread toxic foods worldwide, contributing to rising rates of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
The book also investigates the role of marketing, lobbying, and legislation in perpetuating these harmful practices and explores the impact on traditional food systems and local cultures. By highlighting the health consequences and legal battles associated with these toxic food products, Food Poison provides a critical examination of the global food system and calls for a shift towards more transparent, sustainable, and health-conscious practices.
It concludes with a vision for reclaiming healthier eating through informed choices, advocacy, and community efforts.
