The tastemakers : why we're crazy for cupcakes but fed up with fondue (plus baconomics, superfoods, and other secrets from the world of food trends)
\"Kale. Spicy sriracha sauce. Honeycrisp apples. Cupcakes. We are constantly discovering a new food that will make us healthier, happier, or even somehow cooler. Chia seeds, after a brief life as a novelty houseplant, are suddenly a superfood. Not long ago, that same distinction was held by pomegranate seeds, açai berries, and the fermented drink known as kombucha. So what happened? Did these foods suddenly cease to be healthy a few years ago? And by the way, what exactly is a 'superfood?' Food trends: where they come from, how they grow, and where they end up. Traveling from the South Carolina rice plot of America's premier grain guru to Chicago's gluttonous Baconfest, Sax reveals a world of influence, money, and activism that helps decide what goes on your plate. On his journey, he meets entrepreneurs, chefs, and even data analysts who have made food trends a mission and a business. Entertaining stories and surprising truths about what we eat, how we eat it, and why\"--Provided by publisher.

Food politics
We all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars. In this engrossing exposé, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health. The abundance of food in the United States--enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over--has a downside. Our over-efficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat more--more food, more often, and in larger portions--no matter what it does to waistlines or well-being.

Inspective investigation on swordfish (Xiphias gladius) frozen slices of commerce: anatomical-histopatological findings
The aim of this work was to carry out an inspective survey on frozen slices of swordfish (Xiphias gladius), regularly commercialised in Messina, Sicily (Italy). In total, 402 products were checked at retail levels; the products came from four different fishing area: 59 from the Mediterranean Sea, 155 from North-East Atlantic Ocean, 139 from the Indian Ocean, and 49 from the Pacific Ocean. Fifty-one products were sampled and carefully examined macroscopically and histologically. The histological examination was also carried out on 31 muscle portions without macroscopic alterations. 25 samples (Group A), were parasitised by larvae of Gymnorhynchus gigas or Molicola (Gymnorhynchus) horridus. The lesions described for Group B (24 samples) as well as for 31 muscle portions without macroscopic alterations were attributed to the freezing effect. Histological and macroscopic findings on four samples suggested the presence of parasitic lesions.

handbook of organic and fair trade food marketing
The markets for organic and fair trade food are growing rapidly. Although there are some important differences, both seek to address the consumer desire for “better” food: fair trade because it offers economically disadvantaged producers a better financial return; organic because it is perceived to be a more sustainable system delivering better-tasting, healthier and safer food than that produced by non-organic methods. The Handbook of Organic and Fair Trade Food Marketing provides a practical guide to successful marketing in these two dynamic sectors, underpinned by case-histories and lessons from companies that have been successful in these areas, including Green & Black's, Yeo Valley and Duchy Originals. It includes a review of the international markets for organic and fair trade food and drink; an analysis of organic and fair trade consumers; a review of successful retailing practice and a section on organic and fair trade divergence and convergence. Chapters are also included on perspectives from the USA, Germany and Italy. The book is written by industry experts, augmented by academic contributions where appropriate, offering for the first time the practical marketing advice required by companies in this sector.
