Ways of Eating , a broadbrush history written for a general readership, is full of fascinating stories., Ways of Eating is a beautifully written, accessible book that will appeal to students of food studies and the general public alike. . . . its engaging narrative and rich descriptions make it a delightful journey through the history and culture of food. For those new to the subject, it provides a fascinating entry point into the world of food studies, illuminating how food has shaped--and continues to shape--our societies and identities., In a study that arcs gracefully from our changing understanding of the Neolithic Revolution to the era of genetically modified organisms, fast food, Slow Food, and environmental depletion, the focus is forward-facing.

Synopsis
What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces readers to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nc chm, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.

    I ordered SEASON 2 but was sent SEASON 3. Doesn't matter because I didn't have that season anyway. Now I just have to find a cheap copy of SEASON 2 now. DVD was sent on time and was packed nicely. Many thanks! A+++
