The Junk Food Companion is Eric Spitznagel's comprehensive handbook of America's weirdest invention: junk food. Drawing from a selection of his own gooey favorites, Spitznagel investigates all aspects of junk food--from the emotional value of chocolate and the nutritional value of jelly beans to the sex appeal of chewing gum and the travesty that was New Coke. Here, you'll find the cereal mascot's Hall of Fame (from Tony the Tiger to Snap, Crackle, and Pop), an inspired explication of the junk food inspired "Ode to Cookie" by the classic junk food junkie, Cookie Monster, and many other factoids about everything that falls outside the four food groups.
The Junk Food Companion includes celebrity quotes to reassure junk food junkies that they are not alone--Dr. Ruth on gum, Robert Redford on Oreos, and Michael Jordan on the Big Mac. Full of reader-friendly games, charts, and quizzes, The Junk Food Companion is truly a celebration of eating badly.
