Eating Agendas fills this gap with papers on contemporary issues such as food safety, biotechnology, the food stamp program, obesity, anorexia nervosa, and vegetarianism, among others. Contributors include both sociologists and nutritional scientists. All of the papers in Eating Agendas focus on the social construction of food and nutrition problems. Among the major cl… More >>

By studying biochemistry, Gabriel learned that your body has an internal logic that determines how fat or thin you will be at any given time. The way to lose weight is not to st… More >>
