The Secret Life of Groceries
This was my latest read. I enjoyed it very much.
The theme seems to be how the grocery business has brutalized the supply chain – from fishermen to truckers.
Even when chains try to do business in ethical fashion, like Trader Joes back in the day, they get subsumed.
I’m glad I read it.
My stupid gripes are that some of the paragraphs were soooooo long. I dislike long paragraphs.
And there were lots of footnotes. I get irritated by footnotes because if you don’t read them, you might miss something. But if it’s something worth not missing, why can’t it be in the body of the page?
