Very interesting and light-hearted history of grocery store foods. I'd love to see an updated version of the book, but given his other works, I'd say he is a humor writer first and a researcher second, albeit very good at both pursuits. If you liked "In Defense of Food", this is the book you should have read first for background.

Fun book, a bit outdated but gives definite insight into the grocery store industry. Very infomrative if you eat the typically "American" diet.
