Why You Eat What You Eat

In Why You Eat What You Eat Rachel Herz presents our relationship to food as a complicated recipe, whose ingredients—taste, personality and emotions—combine to make eating a potent and pleasurable experience. Herz weaves curious findings and compelling facts into a narrative that tackles important questions, revealing how psychology, neurology and physiology shape our relationship with food, and how food alters the relationship we have with ourselves and each other.
