Irene’s Reviews > In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto > Status Update

"Regulation is an imperfect substitute for the accountability, and trust, built into a market in which food producers meet the gaze of eaters and vice versa." good advice for education too...

"And while it is true that most of us unthinkingly place the authority of science above culture in all matters having to do with our health, that prejudice should at least be examined. The question we need to ask is, Are we better off with these new authorities telling us how to eat than we were with the traditional authorities they supplanted?"

"Foods that lie to our senses are one of the most challenging features of the Western diet."
