A Greedy Man in a Hungry World: Why (Almost) Everything You Thought You Knew About Food is Wrong

Now with a new epilogue, the UK`s most influential food and drink journalist shoots a few sacred cows of food culture. Buying `locally` does no good. Farmers` markets are merely a lifestyle choice. And `organic` is little more than a marketing label, way past its sell by date. This may be a little hard to swallow for the ethically-aware food shopper but it doesn`t make it any less true. And now the UK`s most outspoken and entertaining food writer is ready to explain why. Jay Rayner combines personal experience and hard-nosed reportage to explain why the doctrine of organic has been eclipsed by the need for sustainable intensification; and why the future lies in large-scale food production rather than the cottage industries that foodies often cheer for. From the cornfields of America to the killing lines of Yorkshire abattoirs via the sheep-covered hills of New Zealand, Rayner takes us on a journey that will change the way we shop, cook and eat forever. And give us a few belly laughs along the way.
