Don’t touch that tuna. And steer clear of that honey unless you know it’s local. There’s a world of food fraud out there, says author Larry Olmsted. His book, Real Food Fake Food, exposes some of those myths and also highlights why real, artisanal foods – like Parmigiano-Reggiano – can’t be faked.
Cristina Favretto and Gretchen Schmidt talked with Olmsted at the Miami Book Fair and discovered some of the horror stories about what we’re eating – and how we can be sure of getting the real deal.
