`An invaluable resource to anyone interested in socio-cultural
aspects of food and nutrition.'
Social Science and Medicine, May 1998
`[McIntosh] engages an enourmous range of social theory, providing
some excellent summaries of current areas...[that] point to many
research questions sociologists should pursue. The text is written
for practicing sociologists and would be excellent for graduate
students.'
Contemporary Sociology, Spring 1998
`A welcomed and remarkable book, a first of its kind...most
noteworthy is the useful review and synthesis of relevant
sociological literature and the diverse food and nutrition
literature...I highly recommend this book to anyone who has
interest in food and nutrition, whether they are sociologists,
nutritionists, anthropologists, or workers in any other related
field. There is so much information and so many insights contained
in this book, almost everyone will find something useful in
it.'
Rural Sociology, 62(2), 1997
