Media Reviews
The editors of this Reader have compiled an excellent group of papers.
- Sara A. Quandt, Wake Forest University School of Medicine
Food and Culture: A Reader, a collection of essays about what and how we eat... is in spots a delicious treat.
Reading About Eating
-Times (Bay City, MI), Jan. 20, 1998
The reader should read more than one or two pieces before passing judgement; subject matter and clarity vary greatly. But certainly everyone can find something to eat on this literary smorgasbord... most will find interesting the chapter on Industrial Foods.
