“What would great-grandma eat?” Food writer and activist, Michael Pollan, asks this question as a litmus test for “real food” when he suggests we eat “real food, not too much, mostly plants.” But our great-grandparents, and their great- grandparents, lived in a globalized food system much like our own. They grappled with fraudulent food additives, dishonest corporations, and diseased animals; they experimented with ingredients around the world; their governments argued over unscrupulous businesses, exploited workers, and how to feed the poor.
