Description
In Grocery, bestselling writer Michael Ruhlman offers incisive observation on The us’s relationship with its food and investigates the overlooked source of such a lot of it—the grocery store.
In a culture obsessed with food—how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is good for us—there are continuously more questions than answers. Ruhlman proposes that the most productive practices for consuming wisely could be hiding in plain sight—in the aisles of your local supermarket. The use of the human story of the family-run Midwestern chain Heinen’s as an anchor to this journalistic narrative, he dives into the mysterious world of supermarkets and the ways in which we produce, consume, and distribute food. Grocery examines how all of a sudden supermarkets—and our food and culture—have changed since the days of your friendly neighborhood grocer. But relatively than waxing nostalgic for the age of mom-and-pop shops, Ruhlman seeks to take note how our food needs have shifted since the mid-twentieth century, and how these needs mirror our cultural ones.
A mix of reportage and rant, personal history and social observation, Grocery is a landmark book from one of our most insightful food writers.
