Welcome to Litsy!

Really fascinating, sensitive, well written bit of food journalism about how lots of different bits of modern western globalised food culture contribute to people not knowing how to interact with food. I‘ve always had an odd relationship with food and I found it so helpful listening to this and knowing it‘s not just me being confused for no reason. If you struggle to navigate between ‘clean eating‘ and ‘junk‘ this might help

“The less appealing aspect of clean eating is a tone of moralism that threatens to undermine the pleasure of everyday meals.”

I‘m glad Bee Wilson addresses the topic of clean eating. I remember how, when I first encountered the term, I was totally baffled about its meaning.

#TBRtemptation post 5! Recently released. The award-winning food writer explores contemporary food climate. How did we get here—where we can get strawberries in winter and find squid ink on store shelves—and what costs result from our easier-than-ever access to the wide range food available. What‘s the relationship between food and culture? Is there a balance? How have ingredients and processes changed over time? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Ain't it, though.

So glad I opened the package that the 30 pound bag of dog food was in — I‘d forgotten that I‘d preordered this book. Love love love Bee Wilson.
