Sickening Profits: The Global Food System's Poisoned Food and Toxic Wealth

If you find this text useful, consider citing, sharing or discussing it—downloads help, but dialogue is essential. Open-access e-book. This book exposes the interconnected landscape of modern food production and its consequences on human health, detailing how ultra-processed foods are systematically undermining public health. The analysis looks at the role of major investment firms like BlackRock, which profit from multiple sectors of this destructive cycle. These firms invest simultaneously in food production and pharmaceutical industries, creating a perverse economic model where corporate entities benefit from both creating and treating health problems. The book also explores the geopolitical dimensions of food and agriculture in the post-COVID world. The analysis challenges the superficial narrative of technological solutions, offering a biting critique of the ecomodernist 'green' agenda. By connecting food production, health outcomes, corporate strategy and global economic policies, a portrait is that of a fundamentally broken food system. The book serves not just as an analysis but as a call for systemic transformation and increased public awareness.
