An amazing FREE copy of Brewster Kneen's new book. Kneen is a Canadian activist and author, particularly with the food system and bio-technology. I have only so far got into the first chapter and already it is really interesting stuff.
"As for food, human beings are no different than any
other organism in requiring reliable nutrition to maintain
life. Yet humans, I dare say, are the only organisms to come
up with the idea of a right to food"
Although the idea is clearly regarding food and the distribution of and such, it does pose questions about other ways societies wield power and control over the people. Probably going to post more excerpts and opinions the further in I get into this book.
