Julian Baggini engages with food in a way that nobody else does. He's the most important thinker we've got on food in the UK -- Tim Hayward, author of STEAK [ An] overview of how people throughout the entire world - from hunter-gatherers to NASA astronauts - view, exist within, manage, and try to improve their food systems. Baggini's philosophy makes sense. We need sustainable food systems to feed the world -- Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, New York University, and author, most recently, of Slow Cooked A profound and important book about our broken food system and how we might fix it. Baggini treats a thorny and complex issue with balance, clarity and a leavening of wit -- Ned Palmer, author of A Cheesemongers History of the British Isles Julian expertly takes the reader on a wonderful journey and exploration through philosophy, culture, and gastronomy across the globe. A must-read for anyone passionate about food, culture and connections -- Dr Rupy Aujla, author of The Doctors Kitchen A refreshingly balanced and nuanced survey of the complexities and realities of food today. Baggini explores the global reach of what we eat and weighs up competing voices to give some clarity of thinking amongst the clamour and crises -- Hattie Ellis, author of What to Eat: 10 Chewy Questions About Food Very informative and highly enjoyable -- Ha-Joon Chang, SOAS University of London, author of Edible Economics Debunks myths aplenty... Baggini's arguments are both readable and reasonable, which should find common ground across the food industry, whether you are a committed vegan or part-owner of a meat processing plant * Irish Times *
