An entertaining and timely exploration of how our food - from where it's grown to how we buy it - is in the midst of a transformation, showing how this is our chance to do better, for us, for our children, and for our planet, from a global expert on consumer behavior. Our food system - how we produce, process, distribute, and consume food - is broken. But we have the opportunity to do better. Paco Underhill sets out to solve these problems and show us where our eating and driving lives are headed in his newest book, How We Eat. Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a Sherlock Holmes for retailers," Underhill takes an upbeat, hopeful, and characteristically witty approach to how we can change the way we consume. How We Eat reveals the future of food in surprising ways, like how the city is getting country-fied with the rise of farmer's markets and rooftop farms, how supermarkets are on their way out with their most valuable real estate, their parking lot, for growing their own food and hosting community events, and how marijuana farmers, who have been using artificial light to grow a crop for years, have helped Walmart plan for how to grow food for an uncertain future
