Bitter Harvest - A Chef's Perspective on the Hidden Danger in the Foods We Eat and What You Can Do About It (Hardcover)

Passionate, political, informed and engaging, Bitter Harvest is filled with cautionary facts and statistics that every consumer should know, such as:
* nearly 80% of commercially processed chicken is infected with salmonella
* in ten years, 95% of our groceries may be consumed within 20 minutes of getting them home
* researchers believe that over a third of future cancers will be diet-related - roughly the same now attributable to smoking.
Throughout, Cooper argues persuasively why we must begin to change everything from the way food is shipped to the basic components of our diets and offers a comprehensive analysis of the issue of sustainability. In Bitter Harvest, this knowledgeable chef emerges as a political voice to be reckoned with and her manifesto is a must-read for anyone concerned with health, nutrition and the future of our food.
