“A fascinating collection of essays that ranges from
everyday food consumption to the global politics of food. The
analyses yield surprising insights into familiar products and the
social world of which they are such an important part. While the
book, unlike its subjects, is inedible, it is highly readable and
intellectually nutritious.” George Ritzer, University of
Maryland
"...provides fascinating glimpses of the behind-the-scene world
of global food distribution and economics and their societal
impacts on people living very different lives on opposite ends of
the world" Journal of Sensory Studies
"The book provides a fascinating journey through the politics,
economics and culture of food in a globalized society...this book
is a gold mine of thought-provoking facts, ideas and concepts...a
literary delight." Journal of Sociolinguistics
