#23 - Raj Patel, Stuffed and Starved: Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World's Food System (2007)

Patel brings together all the sides of food production, distribution and consumption - the exploitation of farmers in the developing world, ditto in the developed world, ditto of the environment, the tight grip of big companies, the poor service of supermarkets, malnutrition and obesity. Not a happy read but an interesting one.
