'...an authoritative introduction to 'cultural' and 'politaical' issues when incorporated into undergraduate courses on nutritional anthropology.' - Journal of Biosocial Science.'This is one of those rare and thoughtful books that help to blur the hackneyed distinctions between anthropology and sociology, science and critical theory....A jaunty humorous and incisive writing style facilitates the presentation of wide-ranging and subtle ideas. The bold use of quotations from vernacular informants talking about myriad aspects of consumption is revealing, entertaining and renders the text excellent for teaching purposes' Biosocial Science, Vol 30, 1998
