Making Supper Safe: One Man's Quest to Learn the Truth about Food Safety

Making Supper Safe: Why We've Lost Trust in Our Food and How We Can Get it Back - Ben Hewitt I liked the authorial voice here very well, but be warned that I am a fan of snark. The infuriating subject matter was made slightly more bearable by Hewitt's irreverence and wit. Not that he didn't take his subject seriously, not at all. The malfeasance of Big Agra and the collaboration of Big Government with regard to food safety are explained herein quite eloquently. The part that's missing is the second half of the title: "and how we can get it back". Aside from growing my own and buying only from farmers I know, that is. As lovely as that sounds, it's still impractical, even in Portland. 3.5 & Recommended.
