Editorial Reviews

About the Author

"Righting wrongs" or "blowing the whistle" on corporate and capitalist America is a risky endeavor, consequently, the doctors and lawyers, professionals and semi-professionals and others who have contributed to this work, shall remain anonymous. All of these loyal contributors sincerely want to help the short-lived occupants on this planet change the way they eat...think...and behave before it is too late...before the earth's resources are squandered and dwindle away beyond no return for future generations! Or are we to go down in history as the selfish, "self-serving" Western society of the 20th Century? Such lofty goals will NEVER be easy, especially in the face of "money-hungry", profit-driven American corporations and capitalists and their "hired-guns" --the advertising and public relations "spin doctors". In fact, Freedom Of Speech, in America, is NOT what it used to be. In the litigation-laden, "I'll take you to court" culture found so prevalent in the U.S., many state governments have even adopted "self-serving" laws, brought on by corporate conglomerates, which can be used to intimidate, silence and bankrupt most anyone, even a journalist, who dares to "speak up" against Big Business, thus inhibiting Freedom Of Speech. Today, in the U.S., too many lawsuits may not always be brought to a court of law to seek justice or "set the record straight", but may be used more to intimidate, strike fear and "cost dearly" those who wish to speak freely, disseminate ideas, opinions, as well as divulge "inside information", they feel the public should be aware of. The authors of this book feel like "no stone has been left unturned", yet also feel that they have only scratched the surface when it comes to exposing the unheard-of, and in some cases, the UNTHINKABLE! However, after reading this book you should not develop a "negative mindset" toward ideas, people, things and practices, but you should come away feeling at least, somewhat, "armed" with that which you need to know to help you make sound, less costly "buying decisions" and, hopefully, help you exercise fair judgement when deciding how to eat...think...and behave--thus contributing to your overall Health...Wealth...and Well-being, now and in the future generations... read more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Whistleblowers Book Of 1001 Secrets "Consumer News You Can Use" (Paperback)
I'm an avid book reader and Whistleblowers Book of 1001 Secrets is the only book that compiles years and years of consumer reports and fact-filled TV consumer news reports, all in one, easy - to - understand book! Without this handy book most of this important information would probably be lost, which, I'm sure is what the manufacturers and sellers of many products and services would prefer see to happen! Also, if I ever need verification, all I have to do is go to the book's supplemental source list to see where the information came from.
