Every day, new warnings emerge about the safety of the food
in our markets, school cafeterias, and restaurants. As
industry and government officials rush in with
reassurances?and food alarmists call for drastic changes in
the American diet?ordinary consumers are caught in the
middle. Is Our Food Safe? separates the facts from
the rumors and offers straightforward, reliable advice on
how to protect your health and the environment without going
to extremes.
Is Our Food Safe? answers common
questions about the safety of meat, dairy products, fish,
fruits, and other foods that make up our daily diet. It
assesses the positive and negative aspects of genetically
engineered foods, compares organic and conventionally
produced foods, and makes recommendations about when (and
if) you should choose local suppliers over industry giants.
It also explains which foods to eat and which to avoid if
you are concerned about clean water and air and a safe
environment. Finally, it provides valuable information on
how you can improve the quality of the food available in
your communities, including specific issues to raise with
grocers and food service providers.
