This is the story of Jose Bove, the radical French farmer who led a protest into the town of Millau and dismantled, to cheering crowds, the new McDonalds. Now a national hero in France, he has become a leading figure in the global anti-capitalist protests, famed not only for his passion for politics but also for his Roquefort cheese. For Bove the struggle against multinational and corporate industry, which he has been involved in since 1968, is also a struggle against what he calls "malbuffe", "horrible nosh". In France good food and good politics have proved an irresistible mixture. Bove examines the issues behind the campaign that was successfully launched to enthusiastic suport at the WTO protests in Seattle last November: the industrialization of agriculture in a global economy, the environmental damage this is wreaking and the tasteless unhealthy food that results.

Review:
.".. a call to action, and a timely reminder of the principle: 'Think globally, act locally.'"--"Food Magazine" .".. an engaging account of two twentieth-century heroes who, in their fight for sustainable agriculture, have embraced the larger vision for a more just, healthy, and harmonic global community."--"clamour magazine" "A vivid testament to the extraordinary potential when local communities, heroic direct actionists and employees come together I creative alliances against corporate power."--"New Statesman" "Critics frequently accuse the opponents of economic globalization of not presenting any alternative ... "The World is Not For Sale" couldn't prove them more wrong."--"Red Pepper" "In tune with the movement for which it will become a core text."--"Independent" "It is refreshing to read informed argument by people who are both left wing and who, as working farmers, know what they are talking about."--"Socialist Review" "Naomi Klein's "No Logo", Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation, The Silent Takeover" By Noreena Hertz and now Bove's book are the bibles of the anti-capitalist movement."--"Guardian" "The peasant leader regarded as a hero in the battle to save France from fast food and free trade is bringing his revolt across the Channel to protest against the 'perversion' of British agricultural policy."--"Sunday Times" "Today MacDonald's, tomorrow the world."--"Times"
From the Back Cover:
'With Mad Cow and foot-and-mouth disease ravaging the world agricultural markets, seemingly abstract debates about the centralization, medicalization and genetic manipulation of food production have become both pressing and personal ... who gets to make decisions about the quality and integrity of the food we eat - citizens, or faceless international trade institutions?' Naomi Klein

'Bove is the Wat Tyler of France ... He and his fellow radicals went to jail but the fuse they lit is still burning brightly ... the world is not for sale.' Derek Cooper
