Description
The result of a rigorous two-year investigation that took Robin across three continents, Our Daily Poison documents the many ways in which we encounter a shocking array of chemicals in our everyday lives - from the pesticides that blanket our crops to the additives and plastics that contaminate our food - and their effects on our bodies over time. Gathering as evidence scientific studies, testimonies of international regulatory agencies and interviews with farm workers suffering from acute chronic poisoning, Robin makes a compelling case for outrage and action.
