The Way We Eat Now: How the Food Revolution Has Transformed Our Lives, Our Bodies, and Our World

Autor Bee Wilson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2019
An award-winning food writer takes us on a global tour of what the world eats--and shows us how we can change it for the better

Food is one of life's great joys. So why has eating become such a source of anxiety and confusion?

Bee Wilson shows that in two generations the world has undergone a massive shift from traditional, limited diets to more globalized ways of eating, from bubble tea to quinoa, from Soylent to meal kits.

Paradoxically, our diets are getting healthier and less healthy at the same time. For some, there has never been a happier food era than today: a time of unusual herbs, farmers' markets, and internet recipe swaps. Yet modern food also kills--diabetes and heart disease are on the rise everywhere on earth.

This is a book about the good, the terrible, and the avocado toast. A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat,The Way We Eat Nowexplains how this food revolution has transformed our bodies, our social lives, and the world we live in.

Recenzii

"Merging impressive data with an engaging narrative style,The Way We Eat Nowtackles the unsustainability of global food systems. Bee Wilson once again proves herself one of the world's most compelling voices in journalism, revealing how food is in danger of becoming an inferior good and offering a blueprint for practical ways to return real food to its rightful place at the table. This book should be required reading for everyone."—Darra Goldstein, founding editor ofGastronomica
"Bee Wilson's deep dive into the causes and consequences of today's unsustainable--but now worldwide--eating patterns is nothing less than a call to action. We must change today's Global Standard Diet to one that promotes planetary as well as our own health."—Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at New York University, and author of Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat
