Supermarket produce sections bulging with a year-round supply of perfectly round, bright red-orange tomatoes have become all but a national birthright. But in Tomatoland, which is based on his James Beard Award-winning article, The Price of Tomatoes, investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook reveals the huge human and environmental cost of the $5 billion fresh tomato industry. Fields are sprayed with more than one hundred different herbicides and pesticides. Tomatoes are picked hard and green and artificially gassed until their skins acquire a marketable hue.

Enjoyable, Informative, and Engaging

As a tomato lover and grower, I really enjoyed this book. Barry did a ton of research for this book. There is a lot of information about tomatoes, but there is also an "Erin Brokovich type" storyline intertwined within, shining the spotlight on the mistreatment of migrant laborers. If you want to know why grocery/restaurant tomatoes have no flavor, this book will give you the whole story.
