Acknowledgments

I am grateful to Brea Perry for the invitation to serve as the volume editor for Food Systems and Health, and for all of her assistance throughout the review and production process. At Emerald, I thank Christina Irving Turner, who got the volume underway, and Jen McCall, who skillfully brought it to press. I deeply appreciate the work of the anonymous reviewers, whose many brilliant insights and suggestions appear throughout this volume. Lastly, I thank my husband, Matt Glaser, whose endless curiosity about all things related to food and health have become part of my joy in doing this work.
