Reviews
'This is a well crafted, witty and engaging introduction to food studies. Belasco presents the current state of food scholarship, prods his readers to think about what they eat in new ways and even offers possibilities for the future. The polemics are presented with a fair and judicious hand, but it is difficult to walk away from this text without seriously reconsidering where your food comes from and what you eat.' Kenneth Albala, University of the Pacific
[T]he first real introductory text in food studies... The tone is at once intellectual and conversational... A deft introduction to a diverse field. Highly recommended. -- J.M. Deutsch, CUNY Kingsborough Community College * CHOICE *
