Reframing Convenience Food by Peter Jackson

- Uses comparative ethnographic evidence, based on contemporary first-hand fieldwork in four European countries- Looks at case studies to assess the growth, development, and use of highly prepared foods since the 1950s - The evidence-based research has far reaching economic, ecological, and public health implications.

“This is to be applauded for it retains intellectual integrity while providing relevant evidence that supports educating nonacademic attitudes about the matter, especially among those who are spending public funds… The book will also be informative for policy makers and practitioners, and educative for students, enabling them to see the argument for reframing common sense assumptions—including some with which they themselves might have started their undergraduate studies.” (Anne Murcott, Review of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Studies, Vol. 100, 2019)
