How the World Eats

Philosopher Julian Baggini has for two decades demystified the role of philosophy in public life, discussing in clear and easy-to-understand terms the principles behind some of our modern dilemmas.

In How The World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, he examines how the choices we make about what to eat influence the way we live, with most of us now relying on a global web of food production, distribution, consumption and disposal. Throughout history and across the world, human beings have fed themselves in many different ways. Yet as Julian shows, with the help of myriad experts, there are principles for a global food philosophy that all good food systems share.
