Consumed: Why Americans Hate, Love, and Fear Food Paperback - 1995
by Michelle Stacey
In this fascinating profile of America's love-hate relationship with food, Stacey journeys from research laboratories and food factories to kitchens and conventions to reveal the secret and not-so-secret ingredients of the nation's obsession with food.
First line
It may come as something of a surprise to those embedded in today's culture of technologically altered foodstuffs and double-blind studies of cholesterol and heart disease to learn that many aspects of our current response to food were foreshadowed one hundred years ago, in an age when electricity was new and polyunsaturated fats virtually unknown.
From the rear cover
Something has happened to food in America. It is no longer simply food-- filling, good-tasting, life-sustaining. Rather, it is "fat free" or "high in fiber" or "loaded with calories"-- it is an enemy that will steal life away, or a savior that will prolong it. In this provocative and entertaining 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-- from supermarkets, to restaurant kitchens, to research labs-- and ultimately suggests a new answer to our fears, one that takes into account our ancient and abiding love for eating. Perceptive and original, "Consumed" will change the way you think about food.
