Animal, Vegetable, Junk: A History of Food, from Sustainable to Suicidal
Mark Bittman
From the #1 New York Times bestselling
author and pioneering journalist, an expansive look at how history has
been shaped by humanity’s appetite for food, farmland, and the money
behind it all—and how a better future is within reach.
The story of humankind is usually told as one of technological
innovation and economic influence—of arrowheads and atomic bombs,
settlers and stock markets. But behind it all, there is an even more
fundamental driver: Food.
In Animal, Vegetable, Junk, trusted
food authority Mark Bittman offers a panoramic view of how the frenzy
for food has driven human history to some of its most catastrophic
moments, from slavery and colonialism to famine and genocide—and to our
current moment, wherein Big Food exacerbates climate change, plunders
our planet, and sickens its people. Even still, Bittman refuses to
concede that the battle is lost, pointing to activists, workers, and
governments around the world who are choosing well-being over corporate
greed and gluttony, and fighting to free society from Big Food’s grip.
Sweeping, impassioned, and ultimately full of hope, Animal, Vegetable, Junk reveals not only how food has shaped our past, but also how we can transform it to reclaim our future.
