Title: More questions than answers
Review: Sallie Tisdale starts off well, but never manages to answer the many questions she poses about food. In the end the book reads as an extended whinge. The introduction is basically the book, the rest is too often just extended repetition. The bibliography is especially light on credible historical sources,yet the history of food is often her subject. After a short time, Tisdale's glib assumption that she,her family,and her attitudes to food are the norm for all Americans passes from being ridiculous to being insulting. There are better books on the subject, notably "Fast Food Nation" and "The Primal Feast."
