Combat-Ready Kitchen: How the U.S. Military Shapes the Way You Eat

by Anastacia Marx de Salcedo Author

More processed food is consumed in America than anywhere else in the world. Americans also spend more on military research. This book demonstrates the link between the two and shows how the U.S. military has spearheaded the creation of energy bars, instant coffee, restructured meat, extended life bread, and anything else that can better preserve and transport food for battle. It also shows how the military has enlisted huge corporations like Nabisco, ConAgra, Tyson, Unilever and more to develop food for soldiers and in the process make the general public the unknowing test subjects.
