The Eating Instinct: Food Culture, Body Image, and Guilt in America

Virginia Sole-Smith
4.9/5 (17320 ratings)
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. 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 how many of us are struggling to do the same thing.The Eating Instinct visits kitchen tables around America to tell Sole-Smith’s story and 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 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.
