“If you had any doubt as to the food industry’s complicity in our obesity epidemic, it will evaporate when you read this book.”

The Washington Post

“An engrossing report on the industrialized American meat business…a richly detailed examination of factory farming, which has reshaped small-town life for the worse.”

"If you are drawn to history and curious about the origins of foods, allow the author to take you on an incredible journey throughout the centuries."
