The Vitamin Murders: Who Killed Healthy Eating in Britain? by James Fergusson (2007) Paperback - Softcover
This is a punchy non-fiction expose from a top-ten author that does for the food industry what "The Constant Gardener" did for pharmaceuticals - a tale of unsolved murder, industrial espionage, chemical contamination and dietary disaster.Readers of issue-led narrative non-fiction, Start-the-Week listeners, gardeners, farmers, organic food shoppers, fans of "Not on the Label" by Felicity Lawrence, Richard Benson's "The Farm", Jamie Oliver's "Schools Campaign" and "Shopped" by Joanna Blythman.Dashing out of the maternity hospital clutching his first-born tight, James Fergusson felt that universal urge to protect his child from the world. However, from all he'd found out in the preceding months, he also knew that the battle for his daughter's dietary health was already all but lost. James discovers that back during WWII, against all the odds, the besieged Britons ate better, nutritionally, than ever they had before or since. And one man was responsible for keeping the country fit to fight the Nazis: Sir Jack Drummond, Churchill's Chief Food Scientist, a hero in his time, unjustly forgotten now. Could the man who named Vitamin A and Vitamin B have saved the Englishman's food? Might James' daughter have had a less contaminated beginning in life? Curious as much about the career and legacy of the remarkable Drummond as about his own family's chemical cocktail, Fergusson sets off for la France profonde to find out what we have lost.
