The United States of Arugula: The Sun Dried, Cold Pressed, Dark Roasted, Extra Virgin Story of the American Food Revolution by David Kamp

4.0

After reading this book, I definitely see Alice Waters in a different light - she does not come across as the vegetable-loving sweet lady that I always thought she was. And in fact this book is about looking into the politics as well as the seedy underbelly of the food movement, and has more than a twinge of snarkiness about it, but that is also what makes it fun to read. It's full of names that you know as well as ones that you don't, and tons of interesting facts and information that will make you appreciate just how far we have come in this country in terms of how we eat.
