Beschreibung:
The BSE epidemic, GM foods, avian flu, the growth of supermarkets and the crisis in obesity have shaken consumer trust in food. Uncovering surprising differences between countries, Trust in Food examines this and challenges the idea of the consumer as a sovereign individual, demonstrating how consumption is institutionalized within society.
Food and the public's trust in it is a highly topical subject and this book provides a critical analysis of crises, changes and reforms in the private and public food sector
