- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a biting look at "foodism" of all sorts and heaps scorn on our society's obsession with food.
I don't agree with everything he says, but a lot of seems to be extremely true--and this is from someone who has always loved cooking and baking and reading about them, even before it became fashionable.
