The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee's, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table by Tracie McMillan

4.0

Overall, an interesting and eye-opening read. I found the sections on production (farm fields in California's Central Valley) and distribution (WalMart) much more compelling than the section on actual preparation/eating (Applebee's), in part because the in-the-kitchen-expose feels more familiar and therefore less remarkable. It put a very human face to food systems in a way that I appreciated, and I also learned a lot. Highly recommended, first 2/3 especially.
