California Studies in Food and Culture #03: Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health

by Marion Nestle

California Studies in Food and Culture #03: Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

An accessible and balanced account, Food Politics laid the groundwork for today's food revolution and changed the way we respond to food industry marketing practices. Now, a new introduction and concluding chapter bring us up to date on the key events in that movement. This pathbreaking, prize-winning book helps us understand more clearly than ever before what we eat and why.

Synopsis:

"A courageous and masterful exposé."--Julia Child

"If you eat, you should read this book."--Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
