ON A DOLLAR A DAY: ONE COUPLE’S UNLIKELY ADVENTURES IN EATING IN AMERICA

Book ID/图书代码： 06540010B34688

English Summary/英文概要： What happens when two high school teachers get fed up with their soaring grocery bills and decide to try to feed themselves on one dollar each, per day? Authors Kerri Leonard and Christopher Greenslate describe how they did it--and also include sections about eating on a little more than $4 a day, as well as on the actual costs of eating a healthy diet. On a Dollar a Day also includes fascinating facts about the way our food gets to the table and the hidden costs--both personal and financial--along the way:

* How food companies "short size" packages so that you pay more for less food
* Why one tablespoon of salad dressing costs as much as a whole orange
* How grocery stores auction off foods past their "sell by" dates
* Why processed foods have a higher markup than fresh foods
* Why it takes so long for food prices to drop, even after fuel and shipping costs go down
* How 36 million Americans have limited food options, even during a national obesity epidemic

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這是真的！有人一天只花一塊錢吃飯！

如果一天只能花一美金(目前匯率31.85台幣)的餐飲費，妳認為這有可能嗎？
美國兩位高中老師某天意識到自己還有高額的帳單代繳，突發奇想決定開始一個每日一美元的實驗性飲食計畫，一個月沒想到這個實驗竟然是可行，而且營養攝取也沒有問題（比美國政府統計貧窮人口的最低每日餐飲費（US＄4.31）吃的更豐盛！）
書中作者不僅描述他們是如何將一美元真正的花在「胃口」裡，更將揭露所觀察到的飲食心理、食物製作成本、業者的販售手段及原物料的價格等因素，如何隱藏在我們的飲食成本裡。
兩人一開始的出發點或許因為節省開支或減肥，但過程中所意識及衍生的其他問題，如全球性糧食短缺、浪費食物、物價飆昇的現象，也讓我們獲得不同的啟發及深思！(Vincent)
