An engaging and in-depth look at what, why, and how we eat

Everybody eats! But do you ever wonder about the food on your table? Food not only fuels us, it also tells many stories about history, culture, trade, geography, and more!

Each page explores a new and engaging topic relating to food: from how family history impacts our diet, to the politics of food, to food safety. The book concludes with a commentary on food waste, sustainability, and the future of food.

This thoughtful and engaging exploration of the things we eat goes beyond what readers can see and taste on their plate, showing the stories food can tell us and its power to bring us together.
