• Shoppers, cooks, children and critics express their views on American eating habits and on processed foods which now make up much of our diet. The nutritional losses from processing and the refining of grain and rice are explored. The reasons for increased use of food additives and the controversies over such additives as nitrites and food colorings are examined. A sour look is taken at the high sugar content in foods especially breakfast cereals. The role of advertising in changing our food habits is dramatically illustrated.
