Benjamin Lorr is clever and witty, and his research is detailed and in-depth. He worked on this book for five years, working at grocery stores, interviewing titans of grocery industry, riding with long-haul truckers moving food from warehouse to grocery hub, and travelling to Southeast Asia to witness the effects of human trafficking and slavery in the shrimp farming business. At no point whatsoever did my attention lag - this book is compelling from beginning to end.
This book should be required reading for any American who buys food. Really truly.
