Overview

""We are what we don't Eat"" is a book that helps fund the production of our second independent, on-the-road documentary on industrial food systems, local farming, and sustainable nourishment. _________________________""How was that food made? If it's that cheap, is it because it's worth so little?"", ""Why don't food corporations pay for the damage they cause to the Soil? And if they did, could their products still be sold at such low prices?"", ""Wouldn't it be more honest if every package showed how many natural resources were consumed and how much pollution was created to make that food?"" Yet when we grab a shopping cart, we often do it without thinking much; not because we are ignorant, but because advertising, the true tax collector of this absurd industrial food system, distracts us with paradoxical tricks meant to keep us from seeing reality. Avoiding unsustainable food as much as possible is not just a personal choice; it is an act that protects our health while defending the Soil and, ultimately, the planet. In these pages, I have gathered reflections drawn from more than twenty years of experience working in national and international television, typically focusing on food and nutrition. Rooted partly in Italian experiences, the book explores food and environmental issues with a global lens, offering the perspective of a buyer who has realized how essential it is to stop behaving like consumers. The industrial food system defines us because that system is the real consumer of the planet. That is the reason behind the provocative title We Are What We Don't Eat.
