Yet few eaters are conscious of the processes that are required to bring food into a metropolis. This original and revolutionary study examines the way in which modern food production has damaged the balance of human existence, and reveals a centuries-old dilemma that holds the key to a host of current problems, among them obesity, the inexorable rise of the supermarkets, and the destruction of the natural world. The rise and impact of such American hallmarks as industrialized food and meat production, the supermarket, fast food restaurant chains, and processed edibles on city life is examined alongside the historical roots and the contemporary issues at each stage of the food cycle, from farm to plate to landfill. Original and inspiring, this is a warning call to the waste and destruction caused by today’s food systems, and a guide to correcting its errors.</P></DIV> 3561879 5 6 2008 Hungry City total:12|5:3|4:5|3:2|2:2|1:0| 12 45 34 5 3 0 true false Thu May 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 02:43:17 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 05:41:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 04:31:09 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 04:55:05 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Tue Jun 23 19:13:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 19:14:00 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Apr 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 14:15:53 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 12:27:15 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Oct 27 13:15:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 13:15:25 -0700 2008 Review: Carolyn Steel’s “Hungry City”]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 11:10:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 11:10:00 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 12 14:15:51 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 14:15:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 20:11:59 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 20:12:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 13:48:45 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 13:48:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 06:26:39 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 06:27:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 14:27:23 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 14:27:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 08 12:26:09 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 12:26:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 13:25:36 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 18:38:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Sep 29 06:42:52 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 06:42:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 07:12:58 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 07:12:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 29 01:05:51 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 01:06:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 15:41:57 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 15:44:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 30 09:25:04 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 09:25:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 02:59:18 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 02:59:18 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu May 21 15:44:28 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 15:44:28 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3520169
