The Taste of Tomorrow by Josh Schonwald
From Alice Waters' micro farm to a secret Pentagon facility that has quietly shaped the American supermarket, this title presents a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what we eat. It introduces us to a motley group of mad scientists and entrepreneurs, renegade farmers, and food engineers who are revolutionizing the food we eat.
"Josh Schonwald is an adventurous reporter and engaging writer whose appetite for his subject, so to speak, produces prose with just the right leavening of humorIf we are what we eat, his real subject is cultural self- definition" -- Ron Rosenbaum, author of Explaining Hitler and The Shakespeare Wars "In his candid, sensible survey, Schonwald weighs carefully the pros and cons of our well-intentioned, but often blindsided 'foodie fundamentalism.'" -- Publishers Weekly "The Taste of Tomorrowis a fascinating adventure through what will controversially, inevitably, and desirably be on your grocery list of the future." -- Dan Koeppel, author of Banana: The Fate of the the Fruit that Changed the World "[An] enthusiastic exploration of a range of possible food futures." -- Booklist "The author effectively pairs his personal experiences with significant research, interviews and lively anecdotes. An articulate food book that has an opinion without being preachy and that exudes a joy about food without being oversimplified." -- Kirkus Reviews "Schonwald is a good-natured and curious guide whose lightness of touch keeps you reading. A non-foodie at the start, he grows into his quest, championing sustainable, local and even genetically modified food to help feed the world." -- Financial Times "[Schonwald] has come up with a great deal of interesting information, much of which will surprise people who eat food without giving much thought to where it comes from." -- Washington Post "This is a fun book...Schonwald has the talent to explain serious, complicated issues in ways the average reader will understand. He does it in an entertaining, often irreverent way that keeps you turning the pages...a provocative book." -- Chicago Tribune "...all this food exploration is divided into manageable and palate-pleasing bites." -- Associated Press
