Description From the author of the national bestseller The Culture of Fear comes a rallying cry to abandon food fads and myths for calmer and more pleasurable eating.
For many Americans, eating is a religion. We worship at the temples of
celebrity chefs. We raise our children to believe that certain foods
are good and others are bad. We believe that if we eat the right foods,
we will live longer, and if we eat in the right places, we will raise
our social status. Yet what we believe to be true about food is, in
fact, quite contradictory.
Offering part expose, part social status. Yet what we believe to be
true about food is, in fact, quite contradictory. Offering part expose,
part social commentary, sociologist Barry Glassner talks to chefs, food
chemists, nutritionists, and restaurant critics about thee way we
eat. Helping us recognize the myths, half-truths, and guilt trips they
promulgate, The Gospel of Food liberates us for greater joy at the
table.
