Exposé Book Reveals Shocking Secrets of the Processed Food Industry
You’ve probably heard that avoiding processed foods is one of the keys to staying healthy, but do you understand why, exactly?
Scottish author Joanna Blythman has written a behind-the-scenes exposé book, Swallow This: Serving Up the Food Industry’s Darkest Secrets
If you have any concerns about the food you’re eating, this is a must-read book. It will radically increase your appreciation of just how processed your food really is and enlighten you to many of the deceptive tricks the industry uses to fool you.
It’s quite challenging to avoid processed foods as nearly all of us eat at restaurants occasionally. The only question is how much? After you read this book, I guarantee your motivation to avoid processed food will skyrocket.
Joanna is an award-winning investigative journalist, and that background served her well as she literally went undercover to get the inside scoop on what’s really going on in the processed food industry. She actually carefully worked her way in and became an insider able to attend many of the member-only conferences.
“I have been writing about food for over two decades,” Joanna says. “I’ve written six other books. They’ve dealt with the production side of food: how and what goes on in fields, what goes on in farms, how to tell a good chicken from a bad chicken, that kind of thing.
But I just knew that we weren’t getting the full story. It wasn’t about the production end. It was at the processing end.
We know quite a lot about how chickens are reared for our tables, but we don’t know very much, or anything really, about how chickens nuggets are produced in a factory. I knew that we had to get to this information about processed food.”
