What Staff are Reading

 Kathleen just finished...Acclaimed food historian Bee Wilson delves deep into the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists, and nutritionists to reveal that our food habits are shaped by family and culture, memory and gender, hunger and love. A fascinating look at why we eat what we eat. The chapters on the cultural aspects of eating were particularly interesting. A change in traditional thinking about introducing children to new and different foods. This book also includes chapters on dieting and eating issues.
