New York:: Riverhead Books,, (2000). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. A book by an award winning essayist which explores the complicated American relationship with food - it ranges over hundred of years of American and European history,looking at the rise of "time-saving" refinements in life - what are we giving away simply to have convenient food? Included in the discussion is how white sugar and white flour were sold to the public as good, and the ways in which advertisers get the public to use products they don't really need and might not even want if they took the time to think about alternatives. A book which is informative, fun to read and also thought-provoking. SIGNED on the title page. Bibliography. 311 pp.
