Will
Allen’s War
on Bugs
reveals how advertisers, editors, scientists, large scale farmers,
government agencies, and even Dr. Seuss, colluded to convince farmers
to use deadly chemicals, hormones, and genetically modified organisms
(GMOs) in an effort to pad their wallets and control the American farm
enterprise.
Utilizing dozens of original advertisements and promotions to
illustrate the story, Allen details how consumers and activists have
struggled against toxic food. Echoing the warnings of seminal works on
the topic like, The Jungle
by Upton Sinclair, 100,000 Guinea Pigs
by Arthur Kallet and F.J. Schlink, and Silent Spring
by Rachel Carson, The War on
Bugs shouts that the time to stop poisoning our food,
water, air, and ourselves is now!
