In this look at the uniquely American obsession with food, Michelle Stacey chronicles the psychological and cultural forces that have transformed oat bran and broccoli into magical totems, and steak, butter, and eggs into killers.
Stacey takes us on a revealing journey through the landscape of American food paranoia and suggests a new answer to our fears, one that takes into account our ancient and abiding love for eating.
