-Issues about food or diet are often seen as only nutrition or
health problems. This book shows how the information available to
the public is often a social problem instead of a nutrition or
health problem, a perspective that anyone interested in nutrition
would do well to recognize... The writing style is aimed at an
educated audience, but anyone interested could understand the major
ideas... Maurer and Sobal have produced a good basic introduction
to the subject. Recommended for any nutrition or social studies
collection. Upper-division undergraduate through professional.-
--N. Duran, Choice -This provocative volume puts a lot on the
table. Papers by sociologists and nutritional scientists examine
issues of diet and health, debates surrounding biotechnology and
food processing, and government policies on nutrition and food
safety standards.... This book lays the groundwork for further
research in a largely undeveloped field; it should also whet the
appetites of students in social problems courses and be a useful
sourcebook in sociology of culture courses.- --Dennis Ray Wheaton,
