When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods.

But, in fact, over the course of the 20th century, North America?s food system has been co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, and sustainably produced food.

Unless consumers wake up and face the truth about our food system, we are going to find ourselves in a situation where a few large agribusinesses are responsible for 100% of our food production.

Food Fight is a fascinating look at how agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how a partnership between chefs and farmers launched a rebellion against big agribusiness and created a political movement that we now call ?local, seasonal, and sustainable.?
