“Phillipov’s attention to industrial forces, logics and ‘compatibilities’ is a key strength of the book, which should be read by scholars and students interested in how media and food systems understand each other. … The book as a whole is animated by an interest how the politics of food is represented, shaped, and formatted by media industries.” (Luke van Ryn, Agriculture and Human Values, Vol. 36 (3), 2019)“Michelle Phillipov highlights in this clearly structured and impeccably argued book is that media is not just a passive player in these practices. It does not simply facilitate the dissemination and exchange of information, but actively shapes associated discourses and practices. … Phillipov’s volume makes a valuable and entertaining addition to the body of academic literature exploring ethical and alternative food movements, practices, and products from a variety of perspectives, encompassing sociology, cultural studies, geography, environmental studies, sustainability, and others.” (Paula Arcari, Media Industries, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)
