Accountability is key, and companies must take responsibility for the impact of their products on human health, the environment, and animals. Rather than providing information and agency to the reader, the author creates an underlying tone of fear and hopelessness, that I think is more likely to increase consumer apathy rather than agency.Thought-provoking, informative and insightful read that helps you to take control of your own well-being and make better choices with achievable solutions and sage advice.

I had cancer before I was 40 and I grew up in a rural area, no Wi-Fi, fresh garden vegetables and fruit, no air conditioning, and little money for extra “conveniences”.

In saying that, this book is absolutely fantastic for the general public to review and reflect on their purchasing habits, particularly for items they probably don’t even think about.
