Sommario/riassunto

Food has played a major role in human evolution, from the fact that we stand upright to traits such as altruism and a sense of fairness. We now face a modern food-related crisis. This book describes how the rise of industrial food production during the 20th century unleashed an epidemic of disease that now threatens our very future./p>.
