WINNER OF THE ANDRE SIMON FOOD BOOK AWARD 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARDS 2024THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Brilliant - a must read' Tim Spector'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 KerridgeThe 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.

Rezensionen

A brilliant readable guide on how to reverse our food, obesity and climate crisis - a must-read

From field to fork, extraordinary work is being done to try and build a better food system for everyone ... [including] Henry Dimbleby's ambitions for safe, healthy and affordable food

Fascinating . . .comprehensive and concise . . . a clear, reasoned and meticulously footnoted argument for a coherent food policy

This is a compelling and overdue plan of action. If the Government adopts it, we will, at last, be putting our food system on the right path to health and prosperity

A rallying call for radical change

Henry Dimbleby calls for a rethink about how food is produced and consumed for the benefit of our health and the planet

Compelling reading

There is a nutritional gap between rich and poor in this country, and it's a slowly unfolding tragedy. Dimbleby not only recognises this - he has a plan to do something about it

The author of the National Food Strategy and founder of Leon reveals the eye-opening truth about how our food systems shape the modern diet and the planet - and, crucially, what we can do about it

A brilliant, rigorous, masterful work, that opens our minds to some of the most important of all issues

An important read that will change the way we look at food - for the better!

If you think it's your fault you sometimes eat badly, think again. A powerful, engaging and urgent mandate for fixing our broken food system

The complex truth behind the global food system

Dimbleby has worked through an incredibly complex landscape and resulted in a set of comprehensive, eminently workable recommendations that are practical and will have a direct impact on our lives

Ravenous is a revelation: a fast-paced, entertaining and often jaw-dropping guide to the modern food system, why it is putting us all in danger, and how we can escape its clutches

What we eat is damaging not only our personal health, but societal and environmental health too - a triple whammy. This book provides not only a compelling diagnosis of the damage being done by our current food eco-system, but a brilliant prescription of how a different food strategy could transform our personal, societal and environmental health. Economists like me often say that, in public policy, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Henry Dimbleby's book provides not only a free lunch for the nation, but a healthy one

Food should be a source of joy, but the way we eat is leading us into disaster. This is a delicious, highly digestible guide to building a better food system, for the sake of our bodies and our planet.

A call not only for a healthier food system, but for a more sustainable one

Dimbleby is absolutely spitting feathers at the government's failure to confront the realities of our food system

Vitally important

Food may well be one of the fundamental necessities of life, but our relationship with it is threatening not just our own lives but that of the planet. Fortunately, Henry Dimbleby knows how to get us back in shape

Henry Dimbleby's latest book must be one of the most exhaustively researched works of all time - certainly when it comes to the food industry.

A critical investigation into the global food industry

Sobering ... forceful ... with his experience as a food-system insider, Dimbleby is able to take us behind the scenes and show us how the mechanisms stretching across the vast supply chains of the food system act together to make us eat what we eat

Analytically tight, empirically thorough ... [Dimbleby's] recommendations are detailed, convincing, and would be entirely implementable if we cared about ourselves and the world around us

Excellent
