Description
The End of Craving: Recovering the Lost Wisdom of Eating Well by Mark Schatzker For fifty years, we've been fighting a losing war on food. Despite our best efforts to control what we eat, eighty-eight million American adults are prediabetic, more than a hundred million have high blood pressure, and nearly half now qualify as obese. The harder we try to resist the primal urge to eat, the unhealthier we become. Mark Schatzker's journey to uncover the lost art of eating and living well takes him from Europe to India, visiting brain scanning laboratories and encountering cultural oddities along the way. He reveals how decades of advancements in food technology have turned our relationship with food against us, placing us in an unrelenting state of craving. By restoring the connection between nutrition and the pleasure of eating, Schatzker argues that we can lead longer and happier lives. This thought-provoking book offers a new perspective on the way we think about food and health, and invites readers to rethink their relationship with the things they eat.
