The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan

"In 2009 McMillan embarked on a groundbreaking undercover journey to see what it takes to eat well in America. For nearly a year, she worked, ate, and lived alongside the working poor to examine how Americans eat when price matters"--Jacket.

A very sobering look at the way our nation eats, and how it gets its food. I knew a lot of this stuff already, but McMillan goes into much greater depth since while doing her research she actually lived the life of a migrant farm worker, Walmart employee, and Applebee's employee. It becomes clearer every day that our nation's food system is a house of cards just waiting to fall down. . . . McMillan's book is a very important read in this genre.
