Gospel of Food


Just finished The Gospel of Food, by Barry Glassner. In it, he basically calls for sanity in food attitudes - he speaks against the no-fat, no-sugar, no-gluten-cholesterol-carbohydrate-whatever groups as well as the food snobs who will only eat in four-star restaurants. He doesn't condemn fast food, but again speaks of moderation. This isn't in any way a diet book, more about the way that we think about food. Although I didn't agree with everything he said, I found myself agreeing with him more often than not.

Book 28

I also believe in doing things in moderation, including what I eat. (Now how often I stick to that is another story!) Maybe I should read this one since I've been thinking about food lately with that calorie count thing...
