[A] lively history of food
*Metro*
It is a dense and intensive read, but the pair's flair for
scene-setting rhetoric and well-timed wit lifts it from the drier
tones of academia
*Time Out*
A richly entertaining history of our relationship with the food
that we put on our plates
*Express*
This isn't just first class scholarship, it's energetic writing ...
a must-read for anyone who wants to know why every night a billion
people got to bed obese and another billion go to bed hungry
*George Alagiah*
It is an absorbing, fascinating and timely book. The analysis ...
is compelling, and their warning is stark. Best of all, it's a
rattling good read
