Ravenous

**A Waterstones Best Book of 2023 **The food system is no longer simply a means of sustenance. It is one of the most successful, most innovative and most destructive industries on earth. It sustains us, but it is also killing us. Diet-related disease is now the biggest cause of preventable illness and death in the developed world - far worse than smoking. The environmental damage done by the food system is also changing climate patterns and degrading the earth, risking our food security.

In** Ravenous**, Henry Dimbleby takes us behind the scenes to reveal the mechanisms that act together to shape the modern diet - and therefore the world. He explains not just why the food system is leading us into disaster, but what can be done about it.

• Ravenous is a truly important book ... we need a food revolution to ensure children don't go hungry, eat right, and reach their potential.*--** Tom Kerridge**
