The big mess (non-fiction, society, agriculture, meat, animal welfare, animals, Jaenicke)

In its "Nutrition Report", the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture celebrates its achievements and the trust that citizens have in our food - but the reality is different. When it comes to our food, we are still shamelessly lied to and deceived, the high quality of the products is made to believe - by the agricultural lobby and the food industry, but politicians also play their part in an irresponsible way. Supposedly independent nutritionists can be hired by lobbyists. Studies on health risks are suppressed, ignored or embellished, others are funded by industry. Industry lobbies massively influence legislation and diet recommendations with the sole aim of maximizing profits. In the long-running discussion about animal welfare and the corresponding certifications, politicians are shifting the responsibility onto the consumer, while industrial factory farming with all its scandalous excesses remains permitted and is in fact not controlled. In this investigative tell-all book, Hannes Jaenicke, Germany's best-known environmentalist and author of the SPIEGEL bestseller "Die Große Volksverarsche", uncovers the most brazen industry and advertising lies and explains what consumers of animal products such as meat, eggs and dairy products absolutely need to know in order to avoid to make the right choice when buying and consuming.
