Melanie Warner is a food expert and has studied this topic for a long time. She came out with a fascinating book with the catchy title Pandora's Lunchbox. She looks at the growth of the food industry and how their offerings to the public effects out health and their corporate decisions on products and advertising. She has several chapters that look at one food subject and gives a great historical context on how the increase popularity of the food or brand exploded in the post war years as women entered the workforce and found little time for old fashion home work. Her in depth Analysis of cheese in chapter three I found particularly useful and enjoyed reading.
She talks to well known scientists and chemists and their work in these food companies laboratories on how they can get people addicted to food through artificial flavoring. Instead of working in laboratories trying to find cures to infectious diseases and so forth many of our brightest graduates from America and around the world work for these food conglomerates. Melanie brings up how we are not living longer since this shift in eating and how we are actually ranked behind many other countries in terms of health. Some companies are trying to put out healthier options but as Melanie points out Americans just are not buying it. There are many great youtube channels with this hot author and she can explain the book better than I can in our limited time. I highly recommend this book if you are aware of the food industries prodigious attempts to get American fat, stupid, and slow through their diets making them more easy to control for the upper elites that own these companies.
