Description:An exploration, both personal and deeply reported, of how we learn to eat in today’s toxic food cultureFood 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.

Every struggle is unique, but Sole-Smith shows how all are also products of our modern food culture―and they’re all asking the same question: How did we learn to eat this way? Why is it so hard to feel good about food? And how can we make it better?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
