| Description: |
This book is a reminder that through our food, within us and around us, millions of microscopic voices are speaking, whispering to us of our mortality, of the membership dues each of us must pay for being party to this green and wondrous celebration. |
| Synopsis: |
What sex is to interpersonal relationships, eating is to the human-environment relationship: a consummation of humans' connection to the living biosphere. But while sticking one's tongue into a new and exciting environment may be an act as old as the planet, it can also lead to some nasty surprises. In this lively look at foodborne illnesses, David Waltner-Toews discusses food-related problems caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including death by puffer fish, rollicking tales of tapeworms, neurological problems brought on by ciguatera poison, and that old standby, botulism. He also examines the chemicals and antibiotics that have entered the food supply and the havoc they can wreak. And to help readers stop problems before they start, he offers common-sense solutions to confronting the complicated issue of foodborne disease. His witty approach makes a deadly serious subject accessible to all readers, while never minimizing the risk. |
