Pandora's Lunchbox: How Processed Food Took Over the American

Pandora's Lunchbox: How Processed Food Took Over the American Meal

In the tradition of Fast Food Nation and The Omnivoreâ€™s Dilemma comes an â€œindispensable,â€ (New York Newsday) fascinating, and cutting-edge look from the author of The Magic Feather Effect at the scary truth about what really goes into our food.

If a piece of individually wrapped cheese can retain its shape, color, and texture for years, what does it say about the food we eat and feed to our children?

Former New York Times business reporter and mother Melanie Warner decided to explore that question when she observed the phenomenon of the indestructible cheese. She began an investigative journey that took her to research labs, university food science departments, and factories around the country. What she discovered provides a rare, eye-openingâ€”and sometimes disturbingâ€”account of what weâ€™re really eating. Warner looks at how decades of food science have resulted in the cheapest, most abundant, most addictive, and most nutritionally inferior food in the world, and she uncovers startling evidence about the profound health implications of the packaged and fast foods that we eat on a daily basis.

Combining meticulous research, vivid writing, and cultural analysis, Warner blows the lid off the largely undocumentedâ€”and lightly regulatedâ€”world of chemically treated and processed foods and lays bare the potential price we may pay for consuming even so-called healthy foods.
