Summary:
Visiting kitchen tables around
America
, this timely volume explores today's toxic
food
culture
, telling the stories of those who are struggling with
food
issues and providing insight into how to feel good about
food
.
"An exploration, both personal and deeply reported, of how we learn to eat in today's toxic
food
culture
.
Food
is supposed to sustain and nourish us.
Eating
well, any doctor will tell you, is the best way to take care of yourself. Feeding well, any human will tell you, is the most important job a mother has. But for too many of us,
food
now feels dangerous. We parse every bite we eat as good or bad, and judge our own worth accordingly. When her newborn daughter stopped
eating
after a medical crisis, Virginia Sole-Smith spent two years teaching her how to feel safe around
food
again-and in the process, realized just how many of us are struggling to do the same thing. The
Eating
Instinct
visits kitchen tables around
America
to tell Sole-Smith's own story, as well as the stories of women recovering from weight loss surgery, of people who eat only nine foods, of families with unlimited grocery budgets and those on
food
stamps. Every struggle is unique. But Sole-Smith shows how they're also all products of our modern
food
culture
. And they're all asking the same questions: How did I learn to eat this way' Why is it so hard to feel good about
food
' And how can I make it better'"--From publisher.
