The book "America's Food What You Don't Know About What You Eat" by Dr. Steve Blake, a renowned food scientist, reveals the shocking truth about the American food industry and its impact on our health, environment, and society. The author argues that the current industrial food system is unsustainable and poses a threat to human health, the environment, and the economy. He emphasizes the need for a new paradigm of understanding the technological process of developing modern knowledge as the basis for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins with an overview of the history of the American food industry, from its origins in small farms and local markets to the massive agribusiness conglomerates that dominate the market today. The author highlights how the focus on profit and efficiency has led to the degradation of soil, water, and air quality, as well as the decline of biodiversity and the loss of traditional foodways. He also explores the consequences of consuming processed and genetically modified foods, including the rise of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Dr. Blake then delves into the science behind the food industry, explaining how the processing and manufacturing of food affects its nutritional value and our health. He discusses the role of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals in food production, and their impact on human health and the environment.
Книга «Пища Америки, которую вы не знаете о том, что вы едите» доктора Стива Блейка, известного ученого в области пищевых продуктов, раскрывает шокирующую правду об американской пищевой промышленности и ее влиянии на наше здоровье, окружающую среду и общество., Автор утверждает, что нынешняя промышленная продовольственная система неустойчива и представляет угрозу для здоровья людей, окружающей среды и экономики. Он подчеркивает необходимость новой парадигмы понимания технологического процесса развития современного знания как основы выживания человечества и единства людей в воюющем государстве. Книга начинается с обзора истории американской пищевой промышленности, от ее истоков на небольших фермах и местных рынках до массовых конгломератов агробизнеса, доминирующих сегодня на рынке. Автор подчеркивает, что акцент на прибыль и эффективность привел к ухудшению качества почвы, воды и воздуха, а также к сокращению биоразнообразия и потере традиционных продуктов питания. Он также исследует последствия потребления обработанных и генетически модифицированных продуктов, включая рост ожирения, диабета и других хронических заболеваний. Затем доктор Блейк углубляется в науку, лежащую в основе пищевой промышленности, объясняя, как обработка и производство продуктов питания влияют на их питательную ценность и наше здоровье. Он обсуждает роль пестицидов, гербицидов и других химических веществ в производстве продуктов питания, а также их влияние на здоровье человека и окружающую среду.
Il libro «Il cibo dell'America che non sai di cosa stai mangiando» del dottor Steve Blake, un noto scienziato alimentare, rivela la verità sconvolgente sull'industria alimentare americana e i suoi effetti sulla nostra salute, sull'ambiente e sulla società. Sottolinea la necessità di un nuovo paradigma per comprendere il processo tecnologico di sviluppo della conoscenza moderna come base della sopravvivenza dell'umanità e dell'unità umana in uno stato in guerra. Il libro inizia con una panoramica della storia dell'industria alimentare americana, dalle sue origini nelle piccole fattorie e nei mercati locali ai conglomerati di massa agroalimentare che oggi dominano il mercato. L'autore sottolinea che l'accento sul profitto e l'efficacia hanno portato a un deterioramento della qualità del suolo, dell'acqua e dell'aria, così come la riduzione della biodiversità e la perdita di alimenti tradizionali. Sta anche esplorando gli effetti del consumo di prodotti trattati e geneticamente modificati, tra cui l'aumento dell'obesità, il diabete e altre malattie croniche. Poi il dottor Blake approfondisce la scienza alla base dell'industria alimentare, spiegando come la lavorazione e la produzione di alimenti influenzano il loro valore nutrizionale e la nostra salute. Sta discutendo il ruolo dei pesticidi, degli erbicidi e di altre sostanze chimiche nella produzione di alimenti e il loro impatto sulla salute umana e sull'ambiente.
