www.movingstories.tv -- With solid science and deft humour, celebrated epidemiologist David Waltner-Toews brings us tales of the bacteria, viruses, and parasites that have made their way into our food supply. He describes the global patterns of foodborne disease, from ciguatera toxins in fish to pandemics of Salmonella , and the changes in climate, culture, agriculture, and trade that have led to the emergence of new diseases and epidemics. It's not all doom and gloom -- "Dr. Dave" provides practical advice for what each of us can do on a daily basis to take responsibility for mitigating the effects for the future.Directed by Kate Hollett (c) 2008 BookShorts Literacy Program for Greystone Books with the assistance of Canadian Heritage Book Publishing Industry Development Program.
