Im September widmete die New York Times eine Ausgabe ihres Magazins der Ernährung und der Frage „Can Big Food Change?„. Die Titelstory liefert beeindruckende Bilder (und Videos) aus der industriellen Landwirtschaft und Lebensmittelverarbeitung.
Our industrialized food system nourishes more people, at lower cost, than any comparable system in history. It also exerts a terrifyingly massive influence on our health and our environment. Photographer George Steinmetz spent nearly a year traveling the country to capture that system, in all its scope, grandeur and dizzying scale. His photographs are all the more remarkable for the fact that so few large food producers are willing to open themselves to this sort of public view.“
