In a culture obsessed with food–how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is good for us–there are often more questions than answers. In his new book, Michael Ruhlman proposes that the best practices for consuming wisely could be hiding in plain sight–in the aisles of your local supermarket. Food Chain is an incisive commentary on America’s relationship with its food and the hazards and confusion that characterise the average supermarket experience. Ruhlman traces the evolution of the local grocery store into the modern mega-market and goes in search of an enlightened retail model, with encouraging results. In Food Chain, Ruhlman seeks to understand how our food needs have changed since the mid-twentieth century, and how these needs echo major shifts in contemporary American culture.
