The Secret Life of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of the American Supermarket by Benjamin Lorr

An absolutely amazing read, so fast paced and fascinating, also incredibly disturbing and sad. I used to work in Foodservice sales and had to leave due to the madness and cruelty and fuck-you attitude to the climate crisis and it’s the best decision I ever made. Our food system is on the verge of collapse because it is completely held up by food slavery, animal cruelty, sub par safety standards, and corruption. I wait for the day it does.
