Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health
Author: Marion Nestle We all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars. In this absorbing expose, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health. The abundance of food in the United States--enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over--has a downside. Our overefficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat more--more food, more often, and in larger portions--no matter what it does to our waistlines or well-being.
