| Contents Notes |
The globalization of the food supply chain and its discontents -- Myth #1: Locavorism nurtures social capital -- Myth #2: Locavorism delivers a free economic lunch -- Myth #3: Locavorism heals the earth -- Myth #4: Locavorism increases food security -- Myth #5: Locavorism offers tastier, more nutritious and safer food -- Good intentions, bad outcomes -- Conclusion: Let them eat global cake! A carefully researched deconstruction of the "eat local" ethos argues that it distracts people from solving serious global food issues, identifying the flaws in locally minded logic while explaining how the elimination of agriculture subsidies and opening international trade offer more realistic and sustainable solutions. |
