Enjoy what you eat. 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 exposé, part social
com-mentary, sociologist Barry Glassner talks to chefs, food
chemists, nutritionists, and restaurant critics about the
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.
