Diners, Dudes, and Diets: How Gender and Power Collide in Food Media and Culture by Emily J.H. Contois
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
I discovered this book on TikTok from Nathan Shuherk (@schizophrenicreads). This book is actually about 130 pages long, the rest of the pages are notes.
I love specific topics like this one and I found all of it to be really interesting. Even after the first chapter, I found myself analyzing everything at the grocery store. This book is written academically and the best way that I can describe that it's not like popular science. It can feel dense if you are not used to reading academic works. Contois looks at advertisements, diet companies, food packaging, and food personality, Guy Fieri, contribute to food culture. Highly recommend if you are interested in marketing, food culture, and/or gender studies.
