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.
