FORMERLY KNOWN AS FOOD How the Industrial Food System Is Changing Our Minds, Bodies, and Culture

Narrator Jennywren Walker blends directness and dismay in this distressing message about how we are really not eating food anymore, but rather, highly industrialized food products. Walker effectively conveys the author's powerful message about how industry-influenced dietary guidelines have affected our bodies on the microscopic level and how the food industry affects how we view food. Walker tempers her tone to emphasize the sobering statistics on increasing numbers of food-related childhood ailments and diseases. Her highly modulated narration also conveys disgust at big food corporations' profit-based-goals, which supersede consumers' health. Although the obstacles examined are considerable and complex, Walker infuses hope with suggestions for actions that will allow consumers to be more educated and in control of the food system and, thereby, their own health.
