MOVEABLE FEASTS: FROM ANCIENT ROME TO THE 21ST CENTURY, THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS OF THE FOOD WE EAT by MURRAY, SARAH (Hardcover - 2007) ISBN: 9780312355357 Subject: HISTORY (NON-ASIAN) Publisher: ST. MARTIN'S PRESS Today the average meal has traveled thousands of miles before reaching the dinner table. How on earth did this happen? In fact, long-distance food is nothing new and, since the earliest times, the things we eat and drink have crossed countries and continents.Combining history, science, and politics, Financial Times writer Sarah Murray provides a fascinating glimpse into the extraordinary odysseys of food from farm to fork. She encounters everything from American grain falling from United Nations planes in Sudan to Mumbai's tiffin men who, using only bicycles, carts, and their feet, deliver more than 170,000 lunches a day. In a thought-provoking and highly entertaining account, Moveable Feasts brings an entirely fresh perspective to the subject of food. And today, as global warming makes headlines and concerns mount about the ˇ§food milesˇ¨ clocked by our dinners, Murray poses a contentious question: Is buying local always the most sustainable, ethical choice? |
