The Secret History Of Food - Siegel

The Secret History Of Food

 

By: Matt Siegel

The history of Kellogg's (and the brother's behind the company).

The saga of cornflakes.

The guy 'Graham' Cracker was named after (even though he would not have eaten them as a staunch advocate against the consumption of sugar). 

Stories of the first to question the mass production of food (aka the large processing companies), publicly, at least. 

A bit of modern farming scams thrown in. 

An explanation of the disease known as 'Pellagra' and its connections to the food we eat, and the nutrients we do or do not consume from that food. 

Talk of using plastic in McDonald's French fries in order to 'perfect' the look for consumers, to you know, make them more desirable to the human eye. 

This and more in 'The Secret History Of Food'. 

If this stuff intrigues you, have at it!
