Shopped
An elegant demolition of the supermarket miracle, this book charts the impact that supermarkets have had on every aspect of our lives and culture Did you know...; Almost 50% of supermarket fruit and vegetables contain pesticide residues?* UK supermarkets make 40p on every GBP1 spent on bananas while plantations workers are paid just 1p?* Supermarkets operate a climate of fear amongst their suppliers?* Every time a supermarket opens the local community loses on average 276 jobs?In the 1970s, British supermarkets had only 10% of the UK's grocery spend. Now they swallow up 80%, influencing how we shop, what we eat, how we spend our leisure time, how much rubbish we generate, even the very look of our physical environment. Award-winning food writer Joanna Blythman investigates the enormous impact that these big box retailers are having on our lives. She meets the farmers who are selling food to supermarkets for less than they need to survive, the wholesalers who have been eliminated from the supply chain, travels to suburban retail parks to meet the teenagers and part-timers who stack our shelves and reveals the hoops third world suppliers must jump through to earn supermarket contracts. This thought-provoking, witty and sometimes chilling voyage of discovery is sure to make you think twice before you reach for that supermarket trolley quite so enthusiastically ever again..

I Know Why the Manatee Swims Naked (I've Shopped for Bathing Suits, Too)
This book deals humorously with topics such as aging, deficient cooking skills, raising children, marriage, weight gain, and holidays, in chapters including "The Great Spandex Challenge," "Twinkies or Treadmills," "The Evolution of Underwear Throughout Marriage," "I'm Aging Like Fine . . . Baloney," "The Mayberry Zone," "What This Country Really Needs is a Southern Soap Opera," and "The 6,912,874-Second Summer." The author has been described by many of her readers as a cross between Erma Bombeck and Jeff Foxworthy. This book offers a lighthearted look at situations most of us deal with on a daily basis, and helps us to laugh as we see how the author handles them in her own inimitable fashion..
