The book challenges the consumer choice model that places responsibility on the shopper for making the \"right\" choice at the grocery store, thereby ignoring the larger social forces at work, which determine what products are available and how they get to the shelves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shelley L.
