Foodopoly is an expose of how agribusiness and food corporations are undermining a healthy food system, and how voting with one's fork will not solve the problem. Wenonah Hauter is the executive director of Food and Water Watch and runs an organic family farm; however, she believes the local food movement is not enough to solve America's food crisis and the public health debacle it has created. Here she aims at the real culprit: the corporate control of food production, which prevents farmers from raising healthy crops and limits the choices people make at the store.
A book of excellent, if scary, information. Unfortunately it left me feeling more hopeless than anything else. Very little information given on how to help fix the state of affairs as they have been laid out in the book. Everyone should read this just for the knowledge, but don't expect any paths to redemption.
