Description
The world of food is full of delicious, lovingly crafted foods that embody the terrain, weather, and culture of their origins. However, it's also home to brazen impostors. In "Real Food / Fake Food", award-winning journalist Larry Olmsted reveals the shocking deception that extends from high-end foods to everyday staples, exposing the counterfeiting that ultimately affects consumers. From olive oil to cheese, coffee, and honey, Olmsted takes readers on a journey to uncover the truth behind the foods we eat. He travels to the sources of real foods, meeting the masters of their craft, to help us recognize what to look for, eat, and savor. With this insider knowledge, consumers can make smarter choices and avoid the fake foods that are masquerading as the real thing. By shedding light on the unregulated food industry, Olmsted empowers readers to take control of their food choices, ensuring they get the best value for their money and support the producers who care about the quality of their products.
