Fascinating Food

Food is the foundation of life. But there's more to every meal than we know. Before food gets to someone's plate, it must be grown, processed, shipped, delivered, prepared, marketed, and sold. The modern world of food intersects with culture, science, economics, and virtually every other part of the human experience. Fascinating Food examines these connections, along with the intriguing and often unexpected stories behind the foods we eat every day.
