Snakes, Earrings and Death By Supermarket

Posted by: Alan in Book Reviews, Books, Business, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Reject Pile, Ron Reviews, Short Takes

Happy Tuesday! The first book up today, I’m sorry to say is definitely Not a winner. I only managed to read the introduction and part of the first chapter of Nancy DeVille’s Death By Supermarket and was more than turned-off enough by the very strident and accusative tone to simply dismiss it. Ron, however, read most of it and said that many if not most of the academic studies DeVille cites have been dis-credited or dis-proven. Clearly, Nancy DeVille is a woman with a mission to demonize the supermarket and packaged foods industries. While these industries may well deserve scrutiny and criticism, this book is of little value to anyone. Not Recommended.
