The book the natural and organic food industries don't want you to read!Have you heard of famous food activist Vani Hari? You know, the blogger and New York Times bestselling author also known as "The Food Babe", who abhors biotechnology, thinks sugar is "toxic", and is famous for berating Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte for, *gasp*, containing "no real pumpkin", and bullying Subway for using so-called "yoga mat chemical" in its bread?If you've questioned Ms. Hari's iffy, unscientific claims about food, or wondered whether there is any truth behind the self-styled "world changing" food activist's claim that "there is no acceptable level of any chemical to ingest ever", look no further. This 400+ page tome, with foreword by Dr. Kevin Folta, professor and chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department at the University of Florida, is a systematic, science-based debunking of the all-too-popular food activist's claims, and an exploration of why such charlatans continue to have a stronghold on the public.

Book Description
"The first time I heard Ana's writing was 2 years ago. In November of 2010, I read at the 'Ear Eater' reading series in Chicago. Ana was another reader. She was reading via Skype. There were a lot of people at the reading. After I read, I walked out of the room and stood in a hallway, staring at the floor. After a few difficult conversations with people in the hallway, I heard the host of the reading talking to someone on the computer. It was Ana. Ana started reading. I laughed a lot and enjoyed her reading. Seemed like other people weren't enjoying it as much as me but I was enjoying it a lot. I stood in the hallway laughing and shaking my head 'Yes' and people looked at me. I kept thinking, 'I want to go into the room and watch her face reading' but then I would think, 'No, don't do that, just listen.' Not sure why I kept telling myself not to go into the room where she was reading but I stood in the hallway and listened and enjoyed it a lot. Two years later, Ana emailed me Baby Babe. I opened the PDF just to skim a few poems but then I read the whole book. When I was done reading the book, I thought, 'I'll be glad to have this book so I can look at it whenever I want.'" -- Sam Pink
