      abstract = {"It seems that practically every day there is news about  some new super-nutrient, super diet, or super food that  promises to help us to be healthier, smarter, happier,  fight disease, lose weight, or live longer. Some of this  information propels temporary food or diet fads, some of it  is subsequently discredited, and some becomes staid wisdom  of healthy eating. It structures the way we eat and  consume, the research agendas of food scientists, and the  ways in which food companies market their products -- and  therefore the ways in which the global food system is  built. It also affects the environment, food and animal  ethics, political and social movements, public policy, and,  of course, our health. This volume of the What Everyone  Needs to Know series will look at food systems globally and  also historically to explain how food production, diets,  and nutrition science have changed across time and space.  It will begin with a chapter on food revolutions (from  hunter-gatherers, to the birth of agriculture, the  industrial revolution, the green revolution, and genetic  and food technologies); followed by chapters on basic  concepts in nutrition science; food choices; the politics  of food environments (farms, supermarkets, restaurants,  farmers markets, community farms, and food trucks); modern  food production and health (conventional v. sustainable  agriculture, the meaning of 'organic' and 'whole' foods;  food packaging); the environmental costs of food  production; animal-based diets; beverages; plant-based  diets; and nutrition guidelines and food labels. The book  concludes with a chapter on food technology (personalized  diets, 3D printing of food, the food supply, and the future  of hunger)"--},
