I really enjoyed the details in this book. The narrative was critical to getting from chapter to chapter. The reader can relate to Melanie's research, struggles, and compromises.

This is another book with content that makes me think of what appears to be a failing of elitism. The food processing industrial staff quoted almost all seem to think that they are doing the best they can for those who can not get real food. Are the poor better off? Probably some, but the poorest among us are also more likely to have Diabetes, coronary disease, and other diseases exacerbated by the processed food that dominates cheap (and donated) food.

The notes section is useful, too.
