The economic and social conditions of modernity do not have an exclusive ownership to mislabelling food
Archaeologists have consistently shown that many British medieval pubs served cat in their meat pies.
What today's conditions do offer is a global surveillance culture targeting food, consumer-law, and branded and accountable produce. Modernity is part of the solution if you wish pure beef in your burger.
