The American Way of Eating

Three novela-length books would have worked better. By the time I got to the end, I just wanted to know what she learned and she never got there.

A very sobering look at the way our nation eats, and how it gets its food. I knew a lot of this stuff already, but McMillan goes into much greater depth since while doing her research she actually lived the life of a migrant farm worker, Walmart employee, and Applebee's employee. It becomes clearer every day that our nation's food system is a house of cards just waiting to fall down. . . . McMillan's book is a very important read in this genre.
