(From George Monbiot’s book Regenesis, regarding countries banning food using terms like “milk” or “sausage”):

“If legislators are to insist on food literalism, they should at least be consistent.

“There is no dinosaur in turkey dinosaurs (and not much turkey).

“If a vegetarian hotdog is ruled out on the grounds that it contains no meat, the meat version should be ruled out on the grounds that it contains no dog.

“Minced meat is meat, but mincemeat isn't. Nor are sweetmeats, though sweetbreads are.

“Buffalo wings are an obvious attempt to mess with our heads. Shepherd's pie, or so the printed ingredients claim, contains no shepherd.

“And don't get me started on jelly babies.”

www.penguin.co.ukRegenesisThe Sunday Times bestseller *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* A New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year 'This book calls for nothing less than a revolution in the future of food' Kate Raworth From the bestselling author of Feral, a breathtaking first glimpse of a new future for food and for humanity Farming is the world's greatest cause of environmental destruction - and the one we are least prepared to talk about. We criticise urban sprawl, but farming sprawls across thirty times as much land. We have ploughed, fenced and grazed great tracts of the planet, felling forests, killing wildlife, and poisoning rivers and oceans to feed ourselves. Yet millions still go hungry. Now the food system itself is beginning to falter. But, as George Monbiot shows us in this brilliant, bracingly original new book, we can resolve the biggest of our dilemmas and feed the world without devouring the planet. Regenesis is a breathtaking vision of a new future for food and for humanity. Drawing on astonishing advances in soil ecology, Monbiot reveals how our changing understanding of the world beneath our feet could allow us to grow more food with less farming. He meets the people who are unlocking these methods, from the fruit and vegetable grower revolutionising our understanding of fertility; through breeders of perennial grains, liberating the land from ploughs and poisons; to the scientists pioneering new ways to grow protein and fat. Together, they show how the tiniest life forms could help us make peace with the planet, restore its living systems, and replace the age of extinction with an age of regenesis.
