But she cared about where food came from, how it was made, and what it did to her body: so she decided to go an entire year without eating processed foods. \u003cem\u003eUnprocessed \u003c\/em\u003eis the narrative of Megan's extraordinary year, in which she milled wheat, extracted salt from the sea, milked a goat, slaughtered a sheep, and more--all while earning an income that fell well below the federal poverty line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a food processed? As Megan would soon realize, the answer to that question went far beyond cutting out snacks and sodas, and became a fascinating journey through America's food system, past and present. She learned how wheat became white; how fresh produce was globalized and animals industrialized. But she also discovered that in daily life, as she attempted to balance her project with a normal social life--which included dating--the question of what made a food processed was inextricably tied to gender and economy, politics and money, work and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacked by extensive research and wide-ranging interviews--and including tips on how to ditch processed food and transition to a real-food lifestyle--\u003cem\u003eUnprocessed\u003c\/em\u003e offers provocative insights not only on the process of food, but also the processes that shape our habits, communities, and day-to-day lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan Kimble\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062382462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062382467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William Morrow \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Megan Kimble","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993923879167,"sku":"9780062382467","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9515d8e3-f3e5-4a5f-a46a-8cffd8a8a765.jpg?v=1683327095","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unprocessed-megan-kimble-9780062382467","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
