Pandora's Lunchbox: How Processed Food Took Over the… door Melanie Warner
It's a good book - with some good research and it does make you stop and think about what you're eating. I think she could have had a stronger finish - the end was a bit wishy washy - so well, what do we do? Considering all of the Monsanto crap, what's put into our food is very important. And I know I'm eating crap when I eat morningstar farms bacon. I would probably be better off eating organic bacon.
A truly wonderful book full of information on processed food. I learned so much. I liked the recommendations in the last chapter to reduce intake of processed food but not to eliminate it.
Sometimes, you just need a reminder and this book is a not a kick in the pants. More like a friendly tap of the foot.
If it were possible on good reads, I would probably rate this a 3.4 star book. This book further muddies the waters in figuring out what is good for you. Melanie did a great job of researching (especially about the forefathers of the FDA) and interviewing the minions of the food industry. She sprinkled in some parts about her own family's stories of food (I would have liked a bigger dose of those stories in the book).
In the hectic moments of our daily lives, sometimes it's just easier to get fast food or throw something in the microwave to eat. And now that i have a family it makes it even more difficult - and more important.

adult nonfiction; food science/molecular engineering. Chemicals in your (processed) foods; not enough data to show how many of which are harmful (or not), but there is certainly enough evidence to be wary.
Sept 2020 update: I checked out the e-audio and this version is also good. Didn't finish it because I'd already read it (just forgot that I had).
