In the golden age of light and cheap beers, John Hall and his son Greg brought European flavors to America. With distribution in two dozen states, two brewpubs and status as one of the twenty biggest breweries in the United States, Goose Island became an American success story and was a champion of craft beer.

Undercover in de harde realiteit van de bio-industrie. We hebben wel een vermoeden waar ons kroketje, onze cappuccino en ons eitje vandaan komen, maar daar laten we het liever bij.

Met een verborgen camera verzamelde hij talloze bewijzen van ernstige dierenmishandeling en intimidatie van medewerkers. Zijn werk werd opgepikt door internationale media, leidde tot grote opschudding in de Nederlandse politiek en vormt inmiddels de aanleiding voor nieuwe regelgeving.

A popular and respected blogger in Québec, Canada, Élise Desaulniers is a food ethics and animal rights advocate who is also interested in public policy, philosophy, and feminism. In Cash Cow, she takes a hard look at the dairy industry, and how it has persuaded the general public of the naturalness and value of cows’ milk in the human diet. Desaulniers asks just who really benefits from the promotion of dairy and just how effectively animal welfare and small farming operations can be protected in an age of consolidation and confinement.

America’s ever-expanding waistline—we see it, we hear about it, and we worry about it, but can anything be done about it? We know all the usual suspects: red meat, dairy, white flour, refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, a lack of exercise, too much television—the list goes on and on. It seems simple, right?
