Britain emerged from the war with its population better fed than ever before. New technologies in agriculture and food science promised to banish the spectre of dietary disease for ever. Today it is back on the agenda. What happened to healthy eating? James Fergusson is the author of The Vitamin Murders, an investigation into the post-war agro-chemical industry. Andrew Whitley is an artisan baker and campaigner for real bread. His book Bread Matters won this year’s Andre Simon Award. Jonathan Harrington is an agricultural biologist who has worked in Africa and as a crop consultant in the UK. Joanna Blythman is Britain’s leading investigative food journalist and author of several award-winning books. Her most recent book is Bad Food Britain.
