Reviews
A graceful, gently-humorous account of the years of persuasion, breeding, engineering, and politicking required to convince Americans that liquid cow's milk was nature's perfect food. You won't look at those milk bottles in the supermarket in the same way again., Anne Mendelson does more than take on the many myths surrounding milk. She provides a history of milk in Britain and America, as dense and rich as a good cheese, and details the many controversies swirling in the glass, especially those concerning sanitation: clean dairies, pasteurization, refrigeration, and others. Scientifically detailed and rigorous without being difficult or inaccessible, Spoiled is a major contribution to food history and to the history of industrializing agriculture., A graceful, gently humorous account of the years of persuasion, breeding, engineering, and politicking required to convince Americans that liquid cow's milk was nature's perfect food. You won't look at those milk bottles in the supermarket in the same way again., Persuasively challenges readers to consider forms of dairy that are better for animals, the farmers who care for them and the consumers who drink their milk., The over-all thrust of her argument--that a series of human errors, rooted as often in sincere intentions as in arrogance, is partially what's to blame for the dominance of drinking milk--becomes especially lucid., The very best food journalism lifts the veil on everyday components of our diet, peeling away accumulated layers of hype, pseudoscience, and ingrained fallacies to reveal the truth. No writer today does this more deftly than Anne Mendelson. Spoiled is the result of scrupulous and unbiased research presented in delightfully readable prose. A masterpiece.
