Meer over het boek

The book explores the deep connection between food and identity, examining historical perspectives on eating practices in the West. It traces the evolution of dietary thought from traditional dietetics, which intertwined health advice with moral living, to the rise of scientific nutrition in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This shift introduced a focus on macronutrients rather than holistic well-being. Ultimately, it reflects on how these changing ideas have shaped contemporary attitudes toward food, blending objective knowledge with personal experience.
