The Truth About the Food Supply

This compelling series explains what goes on in our food supply--the good and the bad. The truth about farms, feedlots, and hen houses, what happens in slaughterhouses, processing plants, and canneries, and whether what's on the food label is really in the package are all revealed. Each volume provides readers with the reassuring steps that are taken to safeguard our food products by farmers, manufacturers, and local, state, and federal agencies. Readers learn what they can do as citizen activists and wise consumers in supporting the locavore movement, agricultural and marine sustainability, and eco-friendly practices. The stylish design of the books and informative sidebars enhance the thought-provoking narratives and engage readers of all ages.
