Buchbeschreibung Soft cover. Zustand: New. "This is not a cook book. It contains food for thought--and the recipes of power. 800 million people live under the constant threat of famine. Most are food-producing peasant in the Third World. The baffling question is : why are so many food producers, rather than we, their consumers, the first to go hungry. The author takes a cold, clear look at the facts and myths of food production, and provides answers. She considers its history, from its origins 10,000 years ago to they Global Supermarket of today. Cliches and half-truths about over-population, climate and inefficient farming, usually given as the reason for Third World hunger, are discarded. She exposes the ruthless game of multinational agri-business, the methods of new Malthusianism and Neo-Colonialism. She unmasks pious aid programmes and reveals the basis of further exploitation. Food for Beginners is a disturbing book: the facts are grim, the picture bleak. But the wit, sheer logic and force of this documentary comic book, point beyond despair to justice.".
