Christopher D. Cook

I am an award-winning journalist and author who writes widely on food politics, labor and social policy, corporate power, and more. I've written for Harper's, The Economist, the Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, The Nation and many others. You can find more at my website, www.christopherdcook.com. My book, Diet for a Dead Planet, is an investigation of how the food we eat has become a source of so many ills--from our diets and health epidemics to ecological decay to extreme labor abuse, and the fall of the family farm. I examine the history of how we got where we are today, and what it means to have a few corporations controlling everything we eat. And what that means for our future. I hope you'll take a look. --Christopher
