Book 3/40
The Secret Life of Groceries by Benjamin Lorr (audio, RBTA)
Work, capitalism, food. 4*

My Dad worked in grocery all his adult life, so this had particular appeal. Learned a bunch about trucking scams and pay, berries, Trader Joe (the person), Trader Joe's (the Aldi company), the Whole Foods Bowery seafood counter, and enough about shrimp and slavery for a while. It is almost too much, as any of these could be its own book.
