A lively, surprising, and necessary guide to navigating our food choices - is a certain food OK for your health? OK for the environment? How do I know if the people who grow or create it are fairly treated? - by an expert in public health from the Culinary Institute of America.
Exploring the intricate relationship between food choices and personal values, the book delves into themes of convenience versus health and the impact of workplace food on happiness. It examines America's fixation on customization in dining experiences at popular chains, while also contrasting highbrow culinary trends with the appeal of fast food, exemplified by Taco Bell's success with innovative offerings. Through these insights, the author uncovers the cultural dynamics shaping our eating habits and preferences.
