Hungry Corporations: Transnational Biotech Companies Colonise the Food Chain

by Helena Paul, Ricarda Steinbrecher, Devlin Kuyek

This book is about the growing dominance of transnational corporations over many aspects of our lives, from executive super-pay to private sector pension funds. The authors of this book look at the hi-tech agro-chemical and genetic engineering companies that now dominate the food chain. In this detailed account, they show how a handful of companies have accelerated the industrialization of agriculture; penetrated the previously independent world of scholarly research; manipulated public opinion, and more.

If you want to know the truth about the nasty things happening to your food, and why, read this book. Medically and nutritionally on point. Some of it will give you the creeps, especially because it happened. And is happening. To you. To us. To our earth.
