Description
This publication is written by Ann Vileisis, author and historian, has won prestigious awards from the  American Historical Association and the American Society for Environmental History.   Vileisis examines how we have become disconnected from knowing the origins of our food (hint: it's not the supermarket!).  The history of food and how its marketing has changed our attitudes, shopping, cooking is examines from the 1800s to contemporary times.  With an emphasis on the mass production and industrialization of food, Vileisis examines its ecological impact, influence upon foodborne pathogens, and environmental pesticides.

More than simply stating the problem, Kitchen Literacy also examines solutions, such as the growing organic movement and the emergence of locovores, in the pursuit of healthier and better-tasting cuisine.
