In this book, Joanna Blythman investigates the enormous impact that big box retailers are having on our lives. She analyzes how they influence our shopping habits, what we eat, how we spend our leisure time, and even the look of our environment. The author meets with farmers who sell food to supermarkets for less than they need to survive, the wholesalers who have been eliminated from the supply chain, travels to suburban retail parks to meet the teenagers and part-timers who stack our shelves, and reveals the hoops that third-world suppliers must jump through to earn supermarket contracts. This thought-provoking, witty, and sometimes chilling voyage of discovery is sure to make you think twice before you reach for that supermarket trolley quite so enthusiastically.
