Reviews of SQUEEZED

"[A] zesty investigation that crafts a gripping story from something you never cared about before...It all adds up to a less unpleasant Fast Food Nation, and an a-peeling read (sorry)."—Charlie Burton, WIRED (UK)

"[Tropicana's] packaging debacle could have been avoided had company executives only got their hands on an advance copy of Alissa Hamilton’s insightful history of the Florida juice industry."—Anne Kingston, Maclean's

“Behind the wholesome facade industry has created for orange juice is Alissa Hamilton's remarkable story of corporate power, marketing, trade and labor issues, and shrinking biodiversity. This story needs telling.”—Kelly D. Brownell, Ph.D., Yale University, co-author of Food Fight: The Inside Story of The Food Industry, America's Obesity Crisis, and What We Can Do About It

"Squeezed reveals that orange juice, with its image as a natural Florida product, bears the fingerprints of chemists and is often shipped from South America. . . . If orange juice isn't harmful, it also isn't what it's portrayed to be. Consumers have a right to know what they're consuming, Hamilton says, and that is at the heart of her story."—Devra First, Boston Globe

"[A]n exhaustive but accessible look at O.J.'s history, chemistry and marketing."—Billy Heller, New York Post

"Full of zesty, fresh insight, concentrated scholarship, and unsweetened truths, Alissa Hamilton's Squeezed will give you a healthy mistrust not just of orange juice, but of corporate America's agenda for all our food."—Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved

One of Lucy Tobin's "must-reads for modern-day foodies."—Sunday Express
