As globalized and highly processed industrial products, many of our foods are only a shadow of their former selves.
Their development is preceded by tricky marketing strategies, research in the service of the profit interests of large corporations and lobby groups, but hardly ever health, sustainable development or the common good for a prosperous coexistence.

Only an unbiased, critical look behind the scenes of the system makes clear what social burdens result from it: socio-economically, health-wise and politically. Are there simple alternatives and ways out? Can self-determination, democratic participation and enjoyment ever become normality in relation to food?
