Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America by Michael Ruhlman

3.0

This is three books. The first is a look at the authors relationship with his father, his father's relationship with a grocery store, and memories in general. The second is a look at American nutrition and our obesity. Finally, there is a look at the way food is sold, and how grocery stores have evolved. This was the book I wanted to read. I wish it was denser on this topic and less on the memoir and definitely less on the nutrition. The chapters didn't always make sense and while the people portrayed have character and are individuals when they appear, they all blend into one another in the continued reading.
