Better understand "Food Wars" between the USA and Europe, June 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Politics of Purity: Harvey Washington Wiley and the Origins of Federal Food Policy (Hardcover)
This engaging and colorful account of the history of U.S. food regulation provides excellent perspective for better understanding the recent spate of high-profile, food regulation trade disputes between the U.S.and Europe, and within Europe, such as the "Banana Wars", "British Beef", and "Genetically modified corn" incidents. A must-read for anyone who who has interest in the unique nature and psychology of government actions in dealing with issues around "our daily bread". This book appears to have been subjected to a very rigorous "peer review" and I expect it will become a classic reference work.
