The Secret Life of Groceries

An interesting book focusing on specific subsets of the American grocery store world including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, trucking, and Thai shrimping. The author clearly spent a lot of time researching these areas and brings to light many individual stories and viewpoints most Americans aren't hearing. With that said, I found the author's writing a little distraction. It's his book and I'm sure I'd insert more opinionated language were I to live this book myself, but I would have preferred a bit more reporterly take.
