Bad food has a history. "Swindled" tells it. Through a fascinating mixture of cultural and scientific history, food politics, and culinary detective work, Bee Wilson uncovers the many ways swindlers have cheapened, falsified, and even poisoned our food throughout history. In the hands of people and corporations who have prized profits above the health of consumers, food and drink have been tampered with in often horrifying ways - padded, diluted, contaminated, substituted, mislabeled, misnamed, or otherwise faked. "Swindled" gives a panoramic view of this history, from the leaded wine of the ancient Romans to today's food frauds - such as fake organics and the scandal of Chinese babies being fed bogus milk powder.Wilson pays special attention to nineteenth- and twentieth-century America and England and their roles in developing both industrial-scale food adulteration and the scientific ability to combat it. As "Swindled" reveals, modern science has both helped and hindered food fraudsters - increasing the sophistication of scams but also the means to detect them. The big breakthrough came in Victorian England when a scientist first put food under the microscope and found that much of what was sold as 'genuine coffee' was anything but - and that you couldn't buy pure mustard in all of London. Arguing that industrialization, laissez-faire politics, and globalization have all hurt the quality of food, but also that food swindlers have always been helped by consumer ignorance, "Swindled" ultimately calls for both governments and individuals to be more vigilant. In fact, Wilson suggests, one of our best protections is simply to reeducate ourselves about the joys of food and cooking.

讀後感
历史看来总是在重复自身. 今天中国就如同18和19世纪的England. 该书从19世纪初化学家Accum出书警告英国人他们的食物被严重掺假开始写起. Accum揭露了当时人们用铜给蔬菜染色, 在面包里掺明矾使面包看起来更白的行径. 但是英国当局好不重视, 理由是他们不想破坏free market. ...
評分“掺假食品，就好像贫穷一样，似乎永远都不离我们左右。” 作者写在文章最后部分的一句话，应该就是我最真实的体会。 这是一本越往后读越感到沉重的书。本来前面几章在描述两个世纪前英国食品的各种造假问题时，我尚能抱着一种嘻嘻哈哈看他国热闹不嫌事儿大的心态读得轻松，虽...
評分只要有现代化就会有欺诈 而每个时代又有每个时代欺诈的特征 现如今英美的欺诈已经不简单是向原料里添加一些无用的东西 而是在考虑食品中营养元素的含量 检测的手段也从显微镜????发展到更高科技的DNA但即使这样 想要得到安全的东西也并不容易 当然在世界各国皆掺假的道路上 也...
評分1860年英国政府制定了第一部《食品安全法》，是最早建立食品安全体系的国家之一。这也证明着英国在19世纪初期，食品安全问题突出，促使他们建立食品安全立法。本书《美味欺诈》正是回顾19世纪英国食品的造假与打假的历史，同时也警示着全球的食品安全的监管。 作者比•威尔...
評分《美味欺诈 食品造假与打假的历史》 英国 比•威尔逊 读着的多数是别国的历史，看到的却是我们的当下。 一、关于掺假食品的几个观点 （1）一点毒药可以要人命，一般食品如果摄入过多也可能致命，比如过量食用胡萝卜会导致维生素A中毒。 （2品加工处理不当导致人身伤害：糖果...
