Food Politics, How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health by Marion Nestle.
The food industry is very efficient. Each year it creates enough food to supply the caloric needs of every man, woman and child—twice over. Their job then becomes to induce each one of us to eat more, more often, regardless of the impact on our health and well-being.
This book provides the details on how the food industry influences what we eat and exposes the ways in which food companies use political processes ("entirely conventional and nearly always legal!") to obtain government and professional support to push their products.
Dr. Nestle is Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University, and a nutrition educator for 25 years. Food Politics won the 2003 James Beard Foundation Award for Excellence.
"If you eat, you should read this book."–Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation.
