Questions about what we eat, its origins, and production methods are central to contemporary American life. Food is deeply intertwined with modern hopes, fears, and anxieties. While critiques of food systems often extend to broader condemnations of modernity, proponents of the status quo frequently overlook existing problems. This collection of essays offers a fresh historical perspective on these critical debates, presenting strong, sometimes conflicting, viewpoints on how we understand our food.
