Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition, and Health
In this authoritative work nutritionist Marion Nestle examines the history of nutritional advice and explains how the food industry games government regulations and advisory boards to their benefit. Arguing that governmental advice should benefit the consumer rather than the producer, Nestle exhaustively demonstrates how this is often not the case. This work will help you understand why sometimes the nutritional advice you get from the USDA may not be in your best interest.
Why this is progressive/liberal: Progressives prefer science to PR spin. Information about nutrition should come from research and scientific investigation rather than the media departments of the food industry. Marion Nestle dissects the misinformation and explains how it even contaminates government reports on nutrition.
