ITEM OVERVIEW
You've heard of the French sheep farmer that—along with other local farmers—ransacked and demolished a McDonald's. Well, this is the book by the man (along with the General Secretary of the French Farmers Confederation) who has become the eloquent and charismatic spokesperson for the movement against the growth of junk food, and the agribusiness it depends on. This book offers a history of that demonstration and an examination of the issues behind the campaign—the industrialization of agriculture in a global economy; the massive environmental damage it is wreaking; and the tasteless, unhealthy food that results. This paperback edition includes a new afterword.
