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

4.0

Yes another look at our modern food industry in the vein of The Omnivore's Dilemma, or Salt Sugar Fat. In fact Ruhlman cites those and several others at the beginning of this book. I did enjoy the unique take on how the actual store where we get our food came to be the way it is. Omnivore's Dilemma focused more on agra-business and Salt Sugar Fat more on the companies that make processed and packaged food. The book shows how in some ways the grocery stores are as beholden to those organizations as the people who shop there. If this is an area that interests you I'd still recommend starting with the Omnivore's Dilemma, but this would also be a good introduction.
