Summary:
"Since his New York Times op-ed column debuted in 2011, Mark Bittman has emerged as one of our most impassioned and opinionated observers of the
food
landscape. The Times' only dedicated opinion columnist covering the
food
beat, Bittman routinely makes readers think twice
about
how the
food
we eat is produced, distributed, and cooked, and shines a bright light on the profound impact that diet - both
good
and
bad
- can have on our health and that of the planet. In A
Bone
to
Pick
, Mark's most memorable and thought-provoking columns are compiled into a single volume for the first time. As abundant and safe as the American
food
supply appears to be, the state of our health reveals the presence of staggering deficiencies in both the system that produces
food
and the forces that regulate it. Bittman leaves no issue unexamined; agricultural practices, government legislation, fad
diets
, and corporate greed all come under scrutiny and show that the issues governing what ends up in our market basket and on our tables are both complex and often deliberately confusing. Unabashedly opinionated and invariably thought provoking, Bittman’s columns have helped readers decipher arcane
policy
, unpack scientific studies, and deflate affronts to common sense when it comes to determining what “eating well” truly means. As urgent as the situation is, Mark contends that we can be optimistic
about
the future of our
food
and its impact on our health, as slow-food movements, better school-lunch programs, and even “healthy fast food” become part of the norm. At once inspiring, enraging, and enlightening, A
Bone
to
Pick
is an essential resource for every reader eager to understand not only the complexities inherent in the American
food
system, but also the many opportunities that exist to improve it."--Container.
