The Gospel of Food: Everything You Think You Know About Food Is Wrong

I absolutely loved this book and after checking it out from the library and reading it in a single day had to buy it for my bookshelf. The title can be misleading though. Some folks may be seriously disappointed or even angered if they got this book in the hopes of finding a diet plan or something that was going to tell them what foods they should eat. But anyone already familiar with the writing of Barry Glassner will not be disappointed. It provides an illuminating and entertaining examination of America's at times bizarre food habits, skewering many of our fads, beliefs and snobbery surrounding food.
