Las decisiones que tomamos sobre lo que comemos no solo influyen en nosotros, sino tambien en la biodiversidad, el paisaje, la sociedad o la economia global.Bee Wilson va mas alla de las modas y de los consejos pasajeros. Recoge de investigaciones e informes rigurosos lo que toda persona deberia saber para elegir la mejor alimentacion. Descubrimos las carencias de cada region del mundo, aspectos como la engañosa popularidad de ciertos alimentos o que intereses de la industria alimentaria pueden perjudicar nuestra salud.Pero no todo es negativo: este libro es un manifiesto a favor del placer de comer de manera saludable ¡y tambien deliciosa!

Todos nacemos sabiendo comer, pero aprender a elegir qué comemos nos cuesta un poco más. Nuestra relación con la comida se forja bocado a bocado, desde el primero. ¿Por qué tenemos gustos tan diferentes? ¿Por que nos sentimos incapaces de cambiar de habitos? ¿Hay esperanza de cambiar despues de la infancia? Bee Wilson analiza paso a paso las etapas en la creacion de habitos alimenticios (buenos y malos), desde el vientre materno hasta la adolescencia, como experta y como madre. Leer este libro es una experiencia liberadora que reconcilia al niño goloso interior con el adulto responsable que somos.

Bee Wilson is the food writer and historian who writes as the Kitchen Thinker in the Sunday Telegraph, and is the author of Swindled!. Her charming and original new book, Consider the Fork, explores how the implements we use in the kitchen have shaped the way we cook and live. A wooden spoon - most trusty and loveable of kitchen implements - looks like the opposite of technology, as the word is normally understood. But look closer. Is it oval or round? Does it have an extra-long handle to give your hand a place of greater safety from a hot skillet? Or a pointy bit at one side to get the lumpy bits in the corner of the pan? It took countless inventions to get to the well-equipped kitchens we have now, where our old low-tech spoon is joined by mixers, freezers and microwaves, but the story of human invention in the kitchen is largely unseen. Discovering the histories of our knives, ovens and kitchens themselves, Bee Wilson explores, among many other things, why the French and Chinese have such different cultures of the knife; and why Roman kitchens contain so many implements we recognize. Encompassing inventors, scientists, cooks and chefs, this is the previously unsung history of our kitchens.

Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year 2020We never snacked like this and we never binged like this. We never had so many superfoods, or so many chips. We were never quite so confused about food, and what it actually is. A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how modern food has transformed our lives and our world. To re-establish eating as something that gives us both joy and health, we need to find out where we are right now, how we got here and where were going. My Ultra-Processed journey began when someone sent me [Bee Wilsons] article in the Guardian it remains the definitive work in my view and her writing continues to inspire so much of what I do Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People As she wrestles with how and what we eat Bee Wilson is fearless, rigorous, compassionate and totally readable.

Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year 2016 We are not born knowing what to eat. We all have to learn it as children sitting expectantly at a table. For our diets to change, we need to relearn the food experiences that first shaped us. Everyone starts drinking milk. After that its all up for grabs. We are not born knowing what to eat; we each have to figure it out for ourselves. From childhood onwards, we learn how big a portion is and how sweet is too sweet. We learn to love broccoli or not. But how does this happen? What are the origins of taste? And once we acquire our food habits, can we ever change them for the better? In First Bite, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson draws on the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists and nutritionists to reveal how our food habits are shaped by a whole host of factors: family and culture, memory and gender, hunger and love. She looks at the effects siblings can have on eating choices and the social pressures to eat according to sex. Bee introduces us to people who can only eat food of a certain colour; toddlers who will eat nothing but hot dogs; doctors who have found radical new ways to help children eat vegetables. First Bite also looks at how people eat in different parts of the world: we see how grandparents in China overfeed their grandchildren, and how Japan came to adopt such a healthy diet (it wasnt always so). The way we learn to eat holds the key to why food has gone so disastrously wrong for so many people. But Bee Wilson also shows that both adults and children have immense potential for learning new, healthy eating habits. An exploration of the extraordinary and surprising origins of our taste and eating habits, First Bite explains how we can change our palates to lead healthier, happier lives.
