It is often assumed that you have to be affluent in order to care about food and good eating. Apparently, though, that this is just one of the many commonplace beliefs that doesn’t stand the simplest test of all: number-checking.

Why is it so hard to eat well, journalist Tracie McMillan wondered. Good food, such as the produce America grows in abundance, is relatively expensive even though only 14 cents of each dollar spent on produce ends up back on the farm it came from.
And “food deserts,” as McMillan calls them, stretch all over America where you have to drive 10 or 15 miles to get to a supermarket, making healthy food harder to find than the ubiquitous Happy Meal.

In 2009, investigative journalist TRACIE McMILLAN worked undercover alongside farm laborers in California’s Salinas Valley, expedited meals at Applebee’s, and stocked the grocery shelves at Walmart — all in an effort to understand the American food system how the working poor eat. She turned her on-the-job research into a new book, The American Way of Eating, in which she makes the case that everyone, regardless of their income, wants to eat well and that as a nation we must question our priorities when it comes to assuring that people of all income levels have access to affordable, healthy food.
