Parr argues that the corporate food system is designed to maximize profits at the expense of our health and the environment. He shows how corporations have used their power to control the food supply chain, from seed production to food processing and distribution. As a result, we are now eating a diet that is high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats, which is contributing to a rise in obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

In addition to the health risks, the corporate food system is also damaging our environment. The industrial agriculture practices used by large-scale farms are polluting our water and air, and contributing to climate change. Family farms, on the other hand, are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. They use less chemicals and pesticides, and they rotate their crops to protect the soil.

The corporate takeover of food security and the family farm is also a threat to our democracy. When a few large corporations control the food supply, they have the power to dictate what we eat and how much we pay for it. This gives them enormous political power, which they use to lobby for policies that benefit their bottom line, not the public interest.

Parr argues that we need to fight back against the corporate takeover of food security and the family farm. He offers a roadmap for creating a more sustainable and just food system, based on family farms and local food production.
