Choosing Your Food with Care. Since the Second World War we have allowed the production, distribution and retailing of our food to be taken over by ever bigger organisations. This is a policy pursued by successive governments to achieve ever greater productivity through economies of scale. We, the shoppers, have welcomed this trend on the grounds of price, convenience and choice. But over the last few years a quiet revolution has been taking place. The possibility of change is in our hands: every time we buy we are voting for impersonal gigantism or a more humane way of life. Paperback, 128 pages. Size: 198 x 130 mm. Weight: 505g.
