This powerful exposé by renowned national muckraker Martha Rosenberg sheds light on the hidden realities of Big Pharma and Big Food. What transpires behind the scenes in these industries is more dubious, deceitful, and reprehensible than one could have ever imagined.

Rosenberg's message is crystal clear: the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries are compromising public health through marketing disguised as medical education and research, aggressive lobbying, and high-level conflicts of interest.

If you are concerned about the safety of the drugs you take and the food you consume, it is imperative that you read this crucial book.

Having earned the trust of over twenty doctors, researchers, and experts who were willing to come forward and share their revelations, reporter and editorial cartoonist Martha Rosenberg presents us with her startling findings. Explosive material from whistle-blowers, scientists, unsealed lawsuits, and the marketers of Big Pharma and Big Food exposes how these industries prioritize profits over public safety, and how the government prioritizes the interests of businesses over the well-being of consumers, resulting in a double whammy that "pimps" public health.

What Rosenberg reveals about government complicity, regulatory food- and drug-safety lapses, and legislative injustices will both shock and appall.

Why have federal meat inspectors become mere figureheads in the nation's slaughterhouses, laughed at by plant managers? Why are medical articles that have been exposed in lawsuits as fraudulent still standing and not retracted? Why was meat possibly containing the United States' first mad cow sold to five California restaurants when the government claimed it wasn't? And why are parents giving their one-year-olds acid reflux medications and their three-year-olds antidepressants?

These questions and many more are raised in this eye-opening exposé, which serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for transparency and accountability in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries.
