Why read it?

1 author picked Ravenous as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Anyone who eats food should read this book. I found it to be a riveting read. 

Ravenous reveals the shockingly dysfunctional state of our global food system. Intensive farming is ravaging the Earth, polluting, damaging the soils, wiping out wildlife, and belching out greenhouse gases, while the food industry turns agricultural products into synthetic ultra-processed foods that make us ill.

There are great suggestions as to how we can all eat better and look after our planet at the same time.
