Joanna Blythman
2006 p/b

Why is it that recipe books are constantly in the best seller lists and people spend more time watching celebrity chefs cooking on TV (there should be a joke here about 'couch potatoes) than doing any cooking themselves?
This country seems obsessed with safety and provenance of food, but resents paying for quality. We consume more junk food than the rest of Europe put together, in fact we are second only in notoriety to the USA in the bad food stakes.
Award winning investigative food journalist, Joanna Blythman, author of 'Shopped' and 'The Food We Eat', amongst others, takes us on a fresh, provocative and often funny journey through Britain's food landscape. It appears we are populated by industry lobbyists chanting self-serving mantras, spineless politicians, food hygiene zealots, processed food corporations posing as liberators of women and 'New You' food gurus. In this book the author uncovers the deeply engrained attitudes and practices that feed the nation's growing food illiteracy.
It seems difficult to some of us of how we have managed to be in this state when there are many farmers' markets, farm shops and organic food being grown in this country.
An eye-opening book.
