Food for Thought: Essays on Eating and Culture by John Shelton Lawrence, Lawrence C. Rubin

geriatricgretch's review

3.0

This book addresses more contemporary issues of food, and it's pretty accessible (well, most of the essays are accessible). It's not particularly memorable and the methodology seems to be mostly sociological, which is interesting, but not all that helpful to me personally. It's mostly US-focused, with a few chapters on other areas (I particularly liked the chapter on the new coffee shop culture in China.)
