How To Eat

In a world full of challenges, the industrialisation of our food is the one thing we can change.

In our confused world, we eat foods which are bad for us, avoid foods which are good for us, crave foods forbidden to us and fear traditional foods. Because our bond with food has been broken, we no longer know whether to love it or to loathe it. This book will help you to dispel confusion, heal your relationship with food and create a clear vision of a brighter future for us and our planet.

Producing what is effectively a sequel to The Food Maze, in which the author explores the reasons why our food culture has become so confusing, Robert Elliott looks at the situation we find ourselves in today and suggests some simple and effective ways of demolishing the myths that have grown up around food and getting back to some sense of normality.

Our modern world is a world full of difficulties, some of which look insurmountable. Many people are becoming increasingly preoccupied with what are seen as the two greatest challenges we face - climate change and peak oil. Yet there is a third challenge as great as these two, and that is the industrialisation of our food. This alone is a significant contributory factor to the severity of the other two. But it is the one problem that each one of us can do something about, starting today, and that is exciting.

Reading this book will empower you, will show you that the choices you make will have a direct and immediate influence on our food culture. It will show you how we can all effortlessly and instantly become part of the change that is needed to begin to fix our problems. If we fix our food first, the rest will follow.
