"What's wrong with the US food system? Why is half the world starving while the other half battles obesity? Who decides our food issues, and why can't we do better with labeling, safety, or school food? These are complex questions that are hard to answer in an engaging way for a broad audience. But everybody eats, and food politics affects us all. Marion Nestle, whom Michael Pollan ranked as the #2 most powerful foodie in America (after Michelle Obama) in Forbes, has always used cartoons in her public presentations to communicate how politics shaped by government, corporate marketing, economics, and geography influences food choice. Cartoons do more than entertain; the best get right to the core of complicated concepts and powerfully convey what might otherwise take pages to explain. In Eat, Drink, Vote, Nestle teams up with The Cartoonist Group syndicate to present more than 250 of her favorite cartoons on issues ranging from dietary advice to genetic engineering to childhood obesity. Using the cartoons as illustration and commentary, she engagingly summarizes some of today's most pressing issues in food politics. While encouraging readers to vote with their forks for healthier diets, this book insists that its is also necessary to vote with votes to make it easier for everyone to make healthier dietary choices"--… (mere)

Eat Drink Vote is a salute to cartoons and cartoonists. It is a collection of 250 or so cartoons, all on a food theme, framing Marion Nestle’s unsurpassed mastery of the subject. I’d go farther than that. The cartoons take precedence, and the text simply accompanies them and sets them up, by adding framework, facts and figures. The whole thing could be a Marion Nestle presentation, with the cartoons being her powerpoint accompaniment. The text sets up the visual laughs. It’s easy to read, easy to absorb, and hits home loud and clear.

My favorite cartoon pictures the new official American place setting: napkin, fork, knife, plate, and shovel. How elegantly eloquent.
The best quote is attributed to Tommy Thompson, as he resigned as Secretary of Health and Human Services: “I for the life of me cannot understand why terrorists have not attacked our food supply, because it is so easy to do.” That was in 2004. Nothing has changed since.

The message that she gives the most play to is that eating less is bad for business. Everything the corporate food complex does is aimed at getting us to eat more, and more often. We now eat all day long, in meetings, in breaks, in front of the tv – anywhere, any time. That is dramatically different than any other period in history, and it is making a difference – in profits, in obesity, and in healthcare.

Marion Nestle hits all the hot button issues in one entertaining package. It’s an excellent primer on the state of the nation’s approach to food. It’s a message that needs to be spread wider.

But while we get a thorough treatment of Eat and Drink, Vote remains unexplored…. ( )
