Reviews

[Annie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A compendium of writing, mostly from the 1970s, on issues surrounding food: overpopulation and food production, processing, advertising, environmentalism, etc. Surprisingly little of the selected articles seem out of date, which could either show that the book is rather prescient or that not much has changed in the past 35 years. I'm not sure myself.
