    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Going to the supermarket has become a minefield. I'm in aisle 15, reading long lists of ingredients and worrying if what's in my trolley is good for me or not.

But I've had enough of second-guessing myself and panicking I'm poisoning my child if I feed him chicken nuggets, so I've given my shopping list to a die

A robotic voice tells me to stay still and close my eyes as I stand in a huge curved scanner while classical music plays in the background.
