This book is based on hard scientific research, most of which has been conducted outside of the United States, where food production lobbies have fought hard against this kind of research. Pawlick exposes an alarming trend in the food available in our grocery stores. This is not an argument about unhealthy, processed foods, rather it exposes the problems with all foods, including fruits and vegetables that people commonly assume are healthy.

Good primer, but nothing new for those well-versed in the subject,
This review is from: The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It (Paperback)
The Canadian perspective is interesting, but for those who have already read books like Fast Food Nation, Omnivore's Dilemma, etc., and who keep up on food issues, the book is nothing new. However, the chapter on loss of vitamin content in foods over the years was very interesting and helpful.

This review is from: The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It (Paperback)
Depressing and scary to read, but important all the same. This book sets out what I have been suspecting for a while now, with a lot I didn't even have a clue about. Something everyone should read, and then go and plant your garden!

This review is from: The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It (Paperback)
Chapter 3, which includes a thorough, although never complete (according to the author) list of what he calls a "Witches Brew" of "additives, pollutants, adulterants and poisons...that is becoming our food."
VERY easy to read and not hopeless---but there isn't an easy answer, either. Pawlick does hold US responsible for being the change we want to see in our food and in our world.
