Michael Ruhlman offers commentary on America's relationship with its food and investigates
the overlooked source of so much of it -- the grocery store. In a culture obsessed
with food -- how it looks, what it tastes like, where it comes from, what is good
for us -- there are often more questions than answers. Ruhlman proposes that the best
practices for consuming wisely could be hiding in plain sight -- in the aisles of
your local supermarket. Using the human story of the family-run Midwestern chain Heinen's
as an anchor to this journalistic narrative, he dives into the mysterious world of
supermarkets and the ways in which we produce, consume, and distribute food. Grocery
examines how rapidly supermarkets -- and our food and culture -- have changed since
the days of your friendly neighborhood grocer. But rather than waxing nostalgic for
the age of mom-and-pop shops, Ruhlman seeks to understand how our food needs have
shifted since the mid-twentieth century, and how these needs mirror our cultural ones
