Abstract:

"Food, Consumers, and the Food Industry encourages you to consider how political, economic, social, and cultural institutions can work to avoid a possible food crisis. Drawing information from the public media, scientific magazines, and peer-reviewed journals, the author tackles issues related to food and its continued availability presently facing the world. He discusses the possible insufficiency of quality food, population growth, diminishing world resources, and long-term safety of genetically modified food. He also covers the invasion of privacy of consumers as retailers attempt to profile them, the power of larger retailers to manipulate consumers, and the growing disbelief on the part of the public for scientific and expert opinion regarding food."--BOOK JACKET.
