Unusual concentrations of cancer and other diseases. Recalls of meats, vegetables, and fruits because of deadly E-coli bacterial contamination. Recent public health crises raise urgent questions about how our animal-derived food is raised and brought to market. This book is about our American food system gone terribly wrong--and the people who are fighting to restore sustainable farming practices and save our limited natural resources. Investigative journalist David Kirby exposes the powerful business and political interests behind large-scale factory farms, and tracks the far-reaching fallout that contaminates our air, land, water, and food. He follows three families and communities whose lives have been utterly changed by immense neighboring animal farms, turning them into unlikely activists.--From publisher description. 650 0 Factory farms|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85077810|xEnvironmental aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005383 650 0 Factory farms|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85077810|xHealth aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005598 650 7 Factory farms|xEnvironmental aspects.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1725755 650 7 Factory farms.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1715931 856 41 |3Sample text|uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/ fy1013/2009039692-s.html 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information|uhttp:// catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1013/2009039692- b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description|uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/ enhancements/fy1013/2009039692-d.html 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 564795 994 C0|bRID
