The Way We Eat Now: How the Food Revolution Has Transformed Our Lives, Our Bodies, and Our World
Autor Bee Wilsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 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.

"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

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
‘Addresses the paradox of our age: why as we become progressively wealthier, our diets become ever poorer . . . the villains of the piece are familiar and plentiful and Wilson lays them bare’ The Times
‘I always walk away from her writing feeling more hopeful than despondent, resolved to do better for myself, my family and the planet’ Chris Ying
A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how modern food has transformed our lives and our world. To re-establish eating as something that gives us both joy and health, we need to find out where we are right now, how we got here and where we're going.
