STUFFED AND STARVED:MARKETS, POWER AND THE HIDDEN BATTLE FOR THE WORLD FOOD SYSTEM

Book ID/图书代码： 00970006B03190

English Summary/英文概要： We have so much choice over what we eat today because rural communities the world over have had their choices taken away. To understand how our supermarket shopping makes us complicit in a system that routinely denies freedom to the world’s poorest, and how we ourselves are poisoned by these choices, we need to think about the way our food comes to us. Stuffed and Starved takes a long and wide view of food production, to show how we all suffer the consequences of a food system cooked to a corporate recipe. This is also the story of the fight against the unthinking commerce that brings it to us. In the wrecked paddy fields of India, in the soy deserts of Brazil, in the maize ejidos of Mexico, the supermarket aisles of California, French McDonald’s and Italian kitchens, there’s a worldwide resistance against unhealthy control of the food system.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 今天我们所生活的世界上已经有太多的食物类型，以致于我们有时都不知如何做出选择，过去乡村式的穷困生活已经一去不复返了。这本书让你知道人类是如何成为超市的共谋者，而我们又是如何深陷这些选择之中的，我们必须反思那些食物是如何把我们包围起来的。本书从长远而又广泛的角度来衡量食品工业，告诉人们我们是如何身受食品加工业其害的。这是一场与食品行业中的那些不负责的商贩们的持久之战。印度半岛的水稻田，加里佛尼亚的超市走道，法国的麦当劳，意大利的厨房等等，我们全世界的人类应该团结一致，抵制食品体制中有害健康的控制手段。
