"Everything in a supermarket has a story to tell, if only we could find it out. The produce defines seasons, geography, wars, distance, nature....Though we can't hear their stories, what we choose to put in out supermarket baskets writes its own language upon our bodies and our moods, our families, our economies, our landscapes. It can mean life or death in some distant country whose name we can only vaguely discern printed on the packaging. We are, all of us, affected by trends in the global economy, in the most intimate and fundamental way possible--through our food." (NEW INTERNATIONALIST) This article reviews a vast array of issues affecting the food industry.
