Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts--in delicious detail--the creation of contemporary American cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn't always as corporate, conglomerated, and corn-rich as it is today, and the style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. With a cast of characters including bold inventors, savvy restaurateurs, ruthless advertisers, mad scientists, adventurous entrepreneurs, celebrity chefs, and relentless health nuts, Smith pins down the truly crackerjack history behind the way America eats. Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption. Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition, and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of production. The proliferation of cookbooks, cooking shows, and professionally designed kitchens made meals more commercially, politically, and culturally potent. To better understand these trends, Smith delves deeply and humorously into their creation. Ultimately he shows how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good if they fit
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Dark Midnight Wash
The jeans are great, once I got the right size, but these I brought back to Whole Foods and got charged anyway because Amazon never got them back!! But cheaper than Levi’s

Important fit information
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Tinted Medium Blue
Be aware that these jeans are loose fit, not fitted through hips and thighs. Excellent quality, well made, great value. But if you are not overweight, if you have a trim build you will NOT like these. They were very baggy and loose around my husband's butt and thighs, so we had to return them. However, if you have a more generous build under your size 34 waist you WILL like these, and the waist has some stretch. I removed one star for calling these fitted through hips and thighs. They're not.

Great fit and value for quality jeans
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 42W x 30L, Color: Tinted Medium Blue
For once I bought a pair of jeans that are super comfortable and feel like I’ve had them for years
I had to return for a shorter size which was no problem and they now fit perfect
Very good quality material like Levi’s or Wranglers not like inferior substitutes
Great value for a quality product

Couldn't get the zipper button open!
Special Size: Midweight, Size: 38W x 30L, Color: Dark Midnight Wash
Returned. They are probably a good product but I have arthritis in my thumbs and it was excruciating to try to undo the button above the fly. I seemed like like the button hole was too small. Maybe a gorilla finished final assembly?
