California Diet  Revolution at the Table: The Transformation of the American Diet (California Studies in Food and Culture) Paperback – May 5, 2003

This book has a lot of hard work and research behind it, and although I found a few inaccuracies from my own interest in the subject, I would generally call this a wonderful exploration of how the typical American eater changed from a constipated beef- and carb-snarfer who was suspicious about vegetables to a nervous eater who indulges in pseudo-science and obsesses about 100 calorie snack packs. ::sigh:: Anyway, I do recommend it; there were a lot of quirks in the history that surprised me, especially the excellent chapter on baby formula.
