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.
Part expose, part social commentary, The Gospel of Food is a
rallying cry to abandon the fads and fallacies in favor of calmer,
more pleasurable eating. By interviewing chefs, food chemists,
nutritionists, and restaurant critics about the way we eat,
sociologist Barry Glassner helps us recognize the myths,
half-truths, and guilt trips they promulgate, and liberates us for
greater joy at the table.
