We all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars. In this engrossing exposé, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health. The abundance of food in the United States-enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over-has a downside. Our over-efficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat more-more food, more often, and in larger portions-no matter what it does to waistlines or well-being. Like manufacturing cigarettes or building weapons, making food is big business. Food companies in 2000 generated nearly $900 billion in sales.

She vividly illustrates food politics in action: watered-down government dietary advice, schools pushing soft drinks, diet supplements promoted as if they were First Amendment rights. When it comes to the mass production and consumption of food, strategic decisions are driven by economics-not science, not common sense, and certainly not health. No wonder most of us are thoroughly confused about what to eat to stay healthy. An accessible and balanced account, Food Politics will forever change the way we respond to food industry marketing practices. By explaining how much the food industry influences government nutrition policies and h

Laser-controlled edge with 15-degree angle on each side. Ergonomic handle for better balance and safer handling. Hand sharpened and polished. Dishwasher safe.

Henckels Twin Signature 5 in. Serrated/Utility Knife.

Designed with a full tang and ergonomic grip, it has a good balanced weight and allows you to slice quickly while safely maintaining control.
