About This Book
Renowned French journalist William Reymond presents some shocking -- and
unappetizing -- facts about the American food industry. This European
best-seller delves deep into the minds of twisted and corrupt
manufacturers who produce "toxic" foods that cause obesity, cancer and
other ills.
In 2001, a total of 2,752 people were victimized by 9/11. But about 145
times as many Americans -- more than 400 thousand -- suffered from
obesity, a serious illness that indirectly affects the entire world
population. In 2000, statistics showed that 10 times as many Americans
died from being overweight than from car accidents. In 2006, the World
Health Organization announced that more individuals are inflicted by
obesity than malnourishment.
Scientific studies have shown that there are certain "toxic" elements in
manufactured foods that impede brain functions and cause obesity. Thus
becoming overweight is not a matter of quantity -- overeating -- but
quality. For example, an average hamburger patty contains meat from
about 12 to 40 different cows -- and it's excruciating to imagine under
what conditions the beef is prepared.
In an age where people spend more time thinking about the latest jeans
or iPod, this book is like a wake up call -- because you are what you
eat. --Hyo-won Lee
