Hungry

One of the main reasons that I enjoyed this book was because it reminded me of growing up in the 1970s. Although I am several years older than the author Grace Dent , I can still identify with the lifestyle and food that was available to working class people during this time. I could also identify with the changes that people made to their diets during the 1980s when supermarkets became much bigger and offered more food at much cheaper prices. As stated in the book, many of these foods were to prove to be very bad for the nation`s health with the majority of people eating too much fat and sugar during this time. Grace`s memoir is a true story of how a young working class woman worked (and played ) hard, to get where she is today. I do not mind admitting that until I saw this book, I had never heard of Grace Dent, but this is because I had never read any of her work or watched the television programmes that she has taken part in. However, I was very touched by her story and in the future I will be looking out for her.
