Most food found on supermarket shelves exists because consumer research has proven that the product will be in demand once it is made available by the food industry.This book strives to shed light on the aspects of our everyday sustenance that we normally don’t think about; above all the problematic consumer unawareness of foods’ nu­tritional value – and the technology behind industrially grown, raised and manu­factured fruits, vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, processed and fast food.Our ancestors created and secured modern food production through hard work; this occurred over a couple of million years in three leaps:- Meat Cooking (1,8 million years ago)- Agriculture Society (10.000 years ago)- Industrial Specialization (300 years ago)Now, we are at the frontier of a new era of future-food, driven by the need to feed nine billion people. But there are risks, as well as rewards, we must be conscious of as we move toward these new kinds of food.Among the key question we must consider: Is your body ready for these new sources of nutrition, or might you thrive even better with the foods you are already accus­tomed to?Reading this book will reward you with a new chance to make the right choices during shopping trips to your store or on the internet – in the food jungle.The book unfolds and presents for you a map of the conditions underlying our modern food supply, to help guide you safely in navigating the food jungle and increase your feeling of responsibility for your food intake. It will make you a better shopper and consumer; and empower you to leverage your newfound knowledge in helping drive the food industry toward manufacturing the healthiest foods possible for your body.

In the Danish West Indies, hundreds of enslaved men and women and a handful of Danish judges engaged in a broken, often distorted dialogue in court. Their dialogue was shaped by a shared concern with the ways slavery clashed with sexual norms and family life. Some enslaved men and women crafted respectable Christian self-portraits, which in time allowed victims of sexual abuse and rape to publicly narrate their experiences. Other slaves stressed African-Atlantic traditions when explaining their domestic conflicts. Yet these gripping stories did not influence the legal system. While the judges cunningly embraced slave testimony, they also reached guilty verdicts in most trials and punished with extreme brutality. Slaves spoke, but mostly to no avail. In Slave Stories, Gunvor Simonsen reconstructs the narratives crafted by slaves and traces the distortions instituted by Danish West Indian legal practice. In doing so, she draws us closer to the men and women who lived in bondage in the Danish West Indies (present-day US Virgin Islands) in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
