Description

"Despite reassurance from government scientists and politicians; despite confident words from the food industry, are you certain the food on your plate is safe to eat? Professor Richard Lacey isn't; this is the story of a food crusader, an eminent scientist who put his career at risk because he believed the British people were in danger of being poisoned by their own food. When Lacey - an internationally famed microbiologist who advised the World Health Organization - set about exposing the dangers in our food brought about by modern farming methods, he was regularly vilified by politicians, civil servants and even by some of his fellow scientists. He came across a whole series of government cover-ups, designed to protect the interests of the food industry rather than public health. Despite strenuous opposition, he brought to public attention the threat of salmonella in eggs, listeria in soft cheeses and pâtés, botulism and E. Coli. Then in 1989 he quit his job on a key government advisory committee in order to speak out on the greatest threat of all: BSE in cows and its human equivalent, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Lacey fears the disease may kill thousands of people in the twenty-first century - unless action is taken now. In this devastating book, the author shows how the food industry threw away the 'wisdom of the ages' in the pursuit of profit and goes behind the scenes to show how the government failed time and again to protect the public interest."--Back cover.
