Eating dangerously : why the government can't keep your food safe ... and how you can / Michael Booth and Jennifer Brown.
Eating Dangerously explains to the American consumer how their food system works and more importantly how it doesn't work. It also dishes up course after course of friendly advice gleaned from the cutting-edge laboratories, kitchens and courtrooms where the national food system is taking new shape. Anyone interested in knowing more about how their food makes it from field and farm to store and table will want the inside scoop on just how safe or unsafe that food may be.
