About the Book

Called "terrifying" by L'Express and "a gripping and urgent book for anyone concerned about democracy, corporate power or public health" by Stuffed and Starved author Raj Patel, Our Daily Poison takes award-winning journalist and filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin across North America, Europe, and Asia. The book 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 over time.

"Full of facts, stories, and wisdom" (The Huffington Post), Our Daily Poison follows the trail of the synthetic molecules in our environment and our food, tracing the ugly history of industrial chemical production, as well as the shoddy regulatory system for chemical products that still operates today--to the detriment of consumers and factory workers alike. Mustering scientific studies, expert testimony, and interviews with farmworkers suffering from acute chronic poisoning, Robin makes a shocking case for how corporate interests and our ignorance may be costing us our lives.

About the Author: Marie-Monique Robin is an award-winning journalist and filmmaker. She received the 1995 Albert-Londres Prize for investigative journalism, the French Senate's Best Political Documentary Award, and the Rachel Carson Prize. She is the director and producer of more than thirty documentaries and investigative reports and the author of "The World According to Monsanto" (The New Press) and "The Photos of the Century," among other works. She lives outside Paris.
