Eat Your Heart Out: making healthier choices

Eat Your Heart Out: Why the Food Business is Bad for the Planet and Your Health

By Felicity Lawrence

This book highlights the downside of food production.

According to the author: "Modern food production involves processes that have little care for real nutrition...are corrosive of society and depend on extravagant use of natural resources, from water to oil to land, which are running out."

Her suggestions for eating more healthily and improve the situation are to choose to shop and eat "organically, more locally, more seasonally, more directly from producers and independent retailers, more Fairtrade, less meat and animal produce, more wholegrains, pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables, fewer highly processed foods.. nothing highly packaged."
