註釋Abstract: One of a series of books that promotes socialismas a cure for economic and political crises in Britain today discusses the world food situation. A wide variety of foods grown around the world are mentioned. It is pointed out that as food production affects the economies of a number ofcountries, food itself affects our health (adversely in some instances). It is stated that food is no longer a fundamental necessity, but has become an economic commodity. The discussion of food encompasses farming and finance, social factors, business, agricultural politics, science,and technology. An example of the irony of the food situation is that while millions are undernourished or starving, others are dieting or overweight. The author'sview is that food is controlled by a relatively small group of individuals, and food itself exerts a subtle form of control over people. It is proposed that the connections between food, politics and economics are at a point where some concrete actions must be undertaken to ensure survival. Specific government and individual actions (e.g.,nationalizing some aspects of distribution) are recommended.(kbc).
