| Abstract: | An eye-opening exposé of the food industry, Swallow This makes you realise just how much supermarket food is processed. Not just the ready-meals but the "artisan" sourdough loaves, the "traditional" vintage cheddar cheese, the probiotic drinks, and bottles of cooking oil. There are chapters on the industrial scale of food production, on a visit to a food industry trade fair (the only selling point of new products is that they save supermarkets money), the practice of "clean labelling" (making ingredients sound more natural than they are), and on the uses of starch, water, oil, sugar, and colourings in food. Let's all try to eat more healthily in the new year; but be warned, the supermarkets aren't making it easy for us. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
