The Poison Squad by Deborah Blum (audiobook)
This was an interesting although somewhat dry look at the early history of American food safety laws. Audio may not have been the best medium for it, since it led to a lot of recitation of facts and encounters and quotes that blurred together. Or at least I found they did. I did find it interesting that Americans (the vocal ones) seem just as against regulation over a hundred years ago as they do now.
I could have done without some of the biographical details, but all in all it wasn't bad. Americans might find it easier to follow.
