TAKE ACTION AGAINST RISING FOOD PRICES, DECREASING NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS, AND CREEPING FOOD SHORTAGES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THIS HANDBOOK IS NOT A CALL TO BOYCOTT ANY SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR CORPORATION. ITS PURPOSE IS TO EDUCATE YOU, THE CONSUMER, SO THAT YOU WILL GET THE TOP NUTRITIONAL AND DOLLAR VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. - Among the subjects covered are: * How soft drinks create health risks— and overcharge for the privilege * Possible hazards of bacon and other smoked meats * How a giant conglomerate has silently taken over the white bread market—without media coverage or government interference * How baby food gives infants a life-long taste for junk food * Why the purchase of high grade beef encourages world famine - Take action, the fight is yours!
