Download Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America AudioBook Free
In Food, best-selling author Michael Ruhlman offers incisive commentary on America's romantic relationship with its food and investigates the overlooked source of so a lot of it - the grocery store. In the culture enthusiastic about food - how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is best for us - there are often more questions than answers. Ruhlman proposes that the best practices for consuming sensibly could be hiding in plain look - in the aisles of your local supermarket. While using the human tale of the family-run Midwestern string Heinen's as an anchor to this journalistic narrative, he dives into the inexplicable world of supermarkets and the ways in which we produce, consume, and send out food. Food examines how swiftly supermarkets - and our food and culture - have modified since the days of your friendly area grocer. But instead than waxing nostalgic for the age of mom-and-pop retailers, Ruhlman seeks to understand how our food needs have shifted since the mid-20th century and exactly how these needs mirror our ethnical ones. A variety of reportage and rant, personal history and cultural commentary, Food is a landmark reserve from one of our most insightful food writers.
