Dr. Trevan challenges all of us to feed our curiosity and learn from food history ... an extraordinary and priceless story for anybody interested in what they eat!"Lone Jespersen PhDPrincipal, Cultivate"The book is a refreshing, up close glimpse at national/international developments that have shaped our current thinking about the healthfulness of foods. The crowning achievements are the insightful evaluations of simple and complex experimental undertakings and the author's measured assessment of food and health policy initiatives with their impact on what we should (not) eat to remain/become healthy. This is a book for the serious food science/nutrition student as well as those interested in better understanding the interface between science and policy development."Richard Holley, PhDDistinguished Professor Emeritus of Food Science, University of Manitoba"Professor Michael Trevan is a master narrator - he is one of the best scientific story tellers. This thought-provoking book will initiate debate and enthuse minds young and old for years to come. Anil de Sequeira, PhD, FIFST, FHEABath Spa University"--Publisher synopsis
