As Xaq Frohlich reveals, this legal, scientific, and seemingly innocuous strip of information can be a prism through which to view the high-stakes political battles and development of scientific ideas that have shaped the realms of American health, nutrition, and public communication. By tracing policy debates at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Frohlich describes the emergence of our present information age in food and diet markets and examines how powerful government offices inform the public about what they consume. \u003ci\u003eFrom Label to Table \u003c\/i\u003eexplores evolving popular ideas about food, diet, and responsibility for health that have influenced what goes on the Nutrition Facts label--and who gets to decide that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis absorbingly interesting book shines a novel light on the development of nutritional labeling in the United States.

Tracing this story is a signal accomplishment, but there is more. Interwoven with the narrative is an analysis that maps the FDA's changing methods of food regulation onto the broader dynamics of twentieth-century American capitalism, especially the shift from the New Deal order to post-1980 neoliberal politics. The book adeptly moves between these levels, thereby inserting the emergence of informational food labeling as part of the transformations of late capitalism.\"--Roger Horowitz, author of \u003ci\u003eKosher USA: How Coke Became Kosher and Other Tales of Modern Food \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXaq Frohlich\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of History of Technology at Auburn University.
