World Events History and Culture Book Group

All are welcome to join this monthly discussion of books on current and historical world events and international culture.  This month’s book is:  Why You Eat What You Eat:  The Science Behind Our Relationship with Food by Rachel Herz.  A revealing look into how we eat, Herz presents our relationship to food as a complicated recipe, whose ingredients―taste, personality, and emotions―combine to make eating a potent and pleasurable experience. Herz weaves curious findings and compelling facts into a narrative that tackles important questions, revealing how psychology, neurology, and physiology shape our relationship with food, and how food alters the relationship we have with ourselves and each other.
