Moss’s work nicely supplements Mark Bittman’s Animal, Vegetable, Junk; Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation; and Walter Willett and P. J. Skerrett’s Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy.
Similar to his previous book, the latest by Moss will draw in fans of investigative journalism, and all interested in learning more about the inner workings of the companies we support.
Several chapters in this collection go beyond the stated focus. However, the inclusion of American, British, and Australian viewpoints, as well as perspectives ranging from archives and records to management and librarianship and IT, make this a worthwhile text for both graduate students and practitioners of information sciences.
Through exhaustive research and insider information, Moss achieves his goal of shining a light on the insidious tactics of the food industry. Readers of food lit and exposés will not want to miss this one.
