Scandals in food, growth of supermarket power and crises in obesity have shaken popular trust in food across Europe. This book examines these issues to challenge the idea of the consumer as a sovereign individual and to demonstrate how consumption is institutionalised within societies. Interesting comparisons between countries are given, drawing from research results. The six European countries compared are: Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Norway and Portugal. The critical elements and issues were then analysed and discussed.
