Do we control our own food choices?
How do supermarkets shape our eating habits?
And just whose responsibility is it to ensure that the country is fed?

Debates about food banks, free school meals and ultra-processed food might seem a modern concern, but they
are deeply rooted in our history. As bestselling author Pen Vogler shows, from uprisings over the right to common land to national campaigns to feed hungry children, food and politics have always been inseparable.

Entertaining and thought-provoking, Stuffed explores the ideas, events and foods - turnips and strawberries, pies and pudding, bread and beer and, of course, tea - from prehistory to the present that have shaped who we are today.
