"The third edition of Food & Society builds on the considerable strengths of its predecessors to compass a lively, accessible, and engaging journey through how and why we eat the ways we do. Its classroom exercises and supplementary reading suggestions help it earn its place as an anchor text for undergraduate introductions to the food system."
Raj Patel, University of Texas
"I have used this book with over a thousand undergrads. Its orientation around paradoxes provides just the right critical lens to rethink all that readers normally take for granted about food, while never letting them forget that eating habits are part of larger systems of power and inequality."
Charlotte Biltekoff, University of California
"This engaging book considers the often conflicting relationships between stakeholders across the food system. Approachable case studies that include donuts, beer, and antibiotics illustrate that there are complex social structures that impact our relationship to food."
Beth Forrest, Culinary Institute of America
"The third edition of this book maintains its position as a principal introduction to food studies. This edition contains a greater awareness of the global food system as revealed to many through the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers an updated discussion of the wider role of food labels and their connection to important social movements."

Praise for the Second Edition:
"Food & Society gives us a fascinating introduction to the issues in food studies of greatest current concern. This exceptionally well-researched book explains why food matters so much and why it generates such intense controversy. The book may be aimed at students, but anyone interested in food issues will have much to learn from the paradoxes it presents."
Marion Nestle, New York University
