Because We as Americans seem to have such short attention spans, I wouldn,t recommend the book to those like myself who don’t need the “numbers” as proof, but the book is considerate and goes above and beyond to show you the truth with stats, charts, graphs etc…to back it up.
Other than that it is a very good read regarding the subject!
Rating: 3 / 5
i did not order the book but ordered the dvd. i received a credit from american express because you sent the wrong thing. i guess american express is not worried about the $10+ charge and you got paid for sendint the wrong thing.

Very well written but very little new to offer here. Chickens in cages: right. Get it. Cows left to stand in own excrement: ok. Heard that already.
This reads like a greatest hits album sounds. I dunno – I was hoping for something new and insightful here.

The book contained a lot of useful information about the horrible and dangerous state of our food production in this country; however, I would have preferred if had it been written more in the style of Fast Food Nation or Spoiled–one author and one consistent voice rather than as a series of disjointed essays.
It is informative, though…so if you want to learn more, don’t hesitate to pick up a copy,

We should all be aware of the decisions that were made on our behalf concerning our food supply. The things you will learn from this DVD will shock you, if you havent been made aware of them before. The choice for cheaper food has been the route of all our dietary ills.
