Bath Spa University - Victual myths explored

A new book on the UK's food has been written by a lecturer at Bath Spa University. Katharine Reeve, who teaches creative writing and English literature, co-wrote The Rough Guide to Food after researching the topic for 18 months. Among the areas she explored were genetic modification, global sustainability and the impact of big supermarkets on the food industry. She said: "When we set out to write this book, we couldn't understand why nobody had tackled the subject before, but now we know because it is immensely complex and there (is so much) misinformation."
