Beskrivning
Everyone eats, but rarely do we investigate why we eat what we eat. Why do we love spices, sweets, coffee? How did rice become such a staple food throughout so much of eastern Asia? Everyone Eats examines the social and cultural reasons for our food choices and provides an explanation of the nutritional reasons for why humans eat what they do, resulting in a unique cultural and biological approach to the topic. E. N. Anderson explains the economics of food in the globalization era, food's relationship to religion, medicine, and ethnicity, and offers suggestions on how to end hunger, starvation, and malnutrition. Anderson also brings insight into the historical and scientific underpinnings of our food customs.This thoroughly updated third edition incorporates the latest food scholarship, including breakthrough findings that have been made in archaeology and nutrition, the new science of food production, and the effects of climate change and pandemics on food supply chains. A perennial classic in the anthropology of food, Everyone Eats feeds our need to understand human ecology by explaining the ways that cultures and political systems structure the edible environment.

Recensioner i media

"When first published Everyone Eats was a beacon for an entire generation of food scholars, including myself. This new updated edition will guide the way for yet another." – Ken Albala, author of Opulent Nosh "Anderson's updated third edition incorporates a wealth of new scholarship to what was already a deeply sensible introduction to the biology, culture, and politics of food." – Jeffrey Pilcher, author of Hopped Up: How Travel, Trade, and Taste Made Beer a Global Commodity "Anderson's newest book is an instant classic. Written with a novelist's sense of detail, seductive wit, and fascinating insights, this a beautiful account of how our ancestors learned to eat, and how that has turned us into who we are today. I learned so much from Everyone Eats while enjoying every page." – Carolyn Phillips, author of The Art of Chinese Baking: Traditional, Modern, and Reimagined
