Food, Sex, and Salmonella

What sex is to interpersonal relationships, eating is to the human-environment relationship: a consummation of humans’ connection to the living biosphere. But while sticking one’s tongue into a new and exciting environment may be an act as old as the planet, it can also lead to some nasty surprises. FOOD, SEX, AND SALMONELLA is a lively look at foodborne illnesses, David Waltner-Toews discusses food-related problems caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including death by ice cream mix, and rollicking tales of salmonella.

The book was adapted for the screen by writer Chris Earle and Kate Hollett; directed by Kate Hollett; shot by Robin Bain; sound design and scored by Phil Strong, produced by Judith Keenan, with special thanks to Corina Eberle of Greystone Books, publishers of “Food, Sex, and Salmonella.”  A BookShorts Literacy Production.
