Shifting Food Facts

Dietary Discourse in a Post-Truth Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a much-needed reframing of food discourse by presenting alternative ways of thinking about the changing politics of food, eating, and nutrition. It examines critical epistemological questions of how food knowledge comes to be shaped and why we see pendulum swings when it comes to the question of what to eat.
