One of the best books I’ve ever read on industrial agriculture as well as food policy. I also liked it since the author was trying to parallel the story of one person, Ramon while also analyzing the food, agricultural and environmental politics at the policy level. By having actual person's story, the author avoided dehumanizing the issue, which often happens to books on these issues.

This book gave incredible insight to the horrors of industrial agriculture and the impacts that our transnational agreements have on vulnerable populations of indigenous and impoverished populations of people. The amount of research that went into this subject while at the same time exploring the life and death of Ramón González and fellow field workers was beyond impressive!

Makes you think really really hard about what your choices as a food consumer do to the rest of the world...or at least it should.
