Summary:

'Hungry City' examines the way in which modern food production has damaged the balance of human existence, and reveals that we have yet to resolve a centuries-old dilemma, one which holds the key to a host of current problems - from obesity, the inexorable rise of the supermarkets, to the destruction of the natural world.
