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.
