Just Food

Where Locavores Get It Wrong and How We Can Truly Eat Responsibly

Overview

From the publisher

We suffer today from food anxiety, bombarded as we are with confusing messages about how to eat an ethical diet. Should we eat locally? Is organic really better for the environment? Can genetically modified foods be good for you?

Just Food challenges conventional views on how our food is produced. For instance, an imported tomato is more energy-efficient than a local greenhouse-grown tomato. And farm-raised freshwater fish may soon be the most sustainable source of protein.

Informative and surprising, Just Food tells us how to decide what to eat and how our choices can help save the planet and feed the world.
