'A stark, challenging and compelling book’
Product Description
A shocking and highly readable expose of the state of the food production industry in Britain today. Felicity Lawrence will take some of the most popular foods we eat at home to show how the food industry in Britain causes ill health, environmental damage, urban blight, starving smallholders in Africa and Asia, and illegal labourers smuggled and exploited in Britain.

Be informed about the food you eat,
This review is from: Not On the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate (Paperback)
A thought provoking and well researched book. I thought I had some idea about how supermarkets operate and how our food is produced, but I didn't know the half of it. Read this book (then lend it to everyone you know), ponder its contents for a while and I am sure you will change your shopping habits. Too many of us are shopping in supermarkets and giving them the power to dictate their own terms. It is clear that they do not have consumers or food producers interests at heart. This book has encouraged me to question where my food has come from, how it has been produced and whether or not I want to buy it. I've gone right off chicken (only organic and free range from now on), I've eaten my last ready meal, I think I'm going to try baking my own bread, definately Fair Trade bananas and coffee from now on and I've just taken over an allotment to grow some of my own fruit and veg. Its time to start enjoying good locally produced and carefully reared/grown food again.

Required Reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Not On the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate (Paperback)
The Labour Government, and Opposition for that matter, should be locked in a windowless room until they have all read this book. Once read, you will walk through the likes of Tescos and Sainsburys, Asda and Sommerfield with a heavy heart. Macdonalds is not quite the be all and end all of ogres portrayed by Fast Food Nation because in the end we all have a choice not to eat there. Increasingly, however, we do not have the choice as to where we buy our food. I for one am digging up the lawn and growing my own.

Anyone who shops in a supermarket should read this,
By A Customer
This review is from: Not On the Label: What Really Goes into the Food on Your Plate (Paperback)
This book is essential reading for anyone who shops regularly in a supermarket. This book made me think about all sorts of things that I had never considered before - like why cheap offers in supermarkets can be so cheap. I have changed my shopping and eating habits considerably since reading this book. Ilook at ingredients lists much more carefully and with more knowledge of what lies behind strange words on labels. The more people who read this book, the more we can make a difference to food supply, production, and health.
