Bad food has a history. "Swindled" tells it. Through a fascinating mixture of cultural and scientific history, food politics, and culinary detective work, Bee Wilson uncovers the many ways swindlers have cheapened, falsified, and even poisoned our food throughout history. In the hands of people and corporations who have prized profits above the health of consumers, food and drink have been tampered with in often horrifying ways - padded, diluted, contaminated, substituted, mislabeled, misnamed, or otherwise faked. "Swindled" gives a panoramic view of this history, from the leaded wine of the ancient Romans to today's food frauds - such as fake organics and the scandal of Chinese babies being fed bogus milk powder.Wilson pays special attention to nineteenth- and twentieth-century America and England and their roles in developing both industrial-scale food adulteration and the scientific ability to combat it. As "Swindled" reveals, modern science has both helped and hindered food fraudsters - increasing the sophistication of scams but also the means to detect them. The big breakthrough came in Victorian England when a scientist first put food under the microscope and found that much of what was sold as 'genuine coffee' was anything but - and that you couldn't buy pure mustard in all of London. Arguing that industrialization, laissez-faire politics, and globalization have all hurt the quality of food, but also that food swindlers have always been helped by consumer ignorance, "Swindled" ultimately calls for both governments and individuals to be more vigilant. In fact, Wilson suggests, one of our best protections is simply to reeducate ourselves about the joys of food and cooking.

我国的人权报告总是首先强调生存权,或者说,就是以吃饱肚子为最大的人权。此话当然不假。最近的XX花革命,是个极佳的反例,显示出人民觉得没吃饱饭,会做出什么样的反应。就这方面而言,我国吃不饱肚子的人已经很少,当然是一大成绩。但人嘛,饱暖以后不一定思淫欲,至少也想...

历史看来总是在重复自身. 今天中国就如同18和19世纪的England. 该书从19世纪初化学家Accum出书警告英国人他们的食物被严重掺假开始写起. Accum揭露了当时人们用铜给蔬菜染色, 在面包里掺明矾使面包看起来更白的行径. 但是英国当局好不重视, 理由是他们不想破坏free market. ...

真是令人大开眼界,第一次知道,原来“不得在食物中添加不适宜人类食用的肉类”,不是指变质肉或者注水肉、病死畜肉之类的,居然指的是“人肉”(〃>皿<)!!!说起来,“没有买卖就没有杀害”的那句话,在这里倒可以改成更为应景的,——“没有买卖就没有食品造假”。 话说,...
