Description

NY:: Scribner,, 1975. Dust jacket lightly worn; ink number `12461' on title page; otherwise, condition rather good.. + 76pp. Notes + bibliography + index. Heavily documented history of food industry pressure, legal loopholes, public apathy, FDA & USDA testing / enforcement laxity. ||| Despite assurances of safety, the result is adulterated convenience food--with little nutritional resemblance to fresh--chemically altered for long shelf life, pleasing color, smell, & predictable flavor. ||| Artificial sweeteners, benzoates, bisulfites, food color dyes, artificial flavors, MSG, nitrates, nitrites, atomic radiation, --are cheap ersatz adulterants, hotly defended by food manufacturers as `being a known quality, always available, safe at these levels' (& above all else--very profitable for our bottom lines).
