A Longman Topics Reader that considers food in the social context.

 

Starting from the assumption that eating is about a whole lot more than food, The Eater Reader presents students with an overview of the many issues, questions and controversies to which this activity is connected: from standards of health nutrition to messages about body image, debates over environmentalism or consumerism to issues of gender, racial and class difference.
