Eating Ourselves Sick by Louise
Stephen
Part big idea, part exposé,
Louise Stephen shines a light on the global forces behind our modern diet, and
how we have been eating ourselves sick for the last 100 years.
Former business analyst Louise Stephen contracted a flu in her early thirties, an illness that would lead to dialysis and then a kidney transplant. A once reasonably healthy, middle-class professional, Louise was perplexed as to how she could get so sick. She started investigating the world of food and medicine, applying her business mind and research skills to the task.
What Louise has uncovered will
not only change the way you eat, but also the way you think about the people
who make your flavoured milk, breakfast cereal and tomato sauce. Big Food is
picking up where big tobacco left off, making multi-million dollar profits by
selling us food that is destroying our health. Not only this, governments and
peak health bodies, recipients of generous donations, are paving the way.
