But this free and comfortable lifestyle loses its power when we realize that the food we eat is killing us.\u003cbr\u003e Food torments us not because it is scarce, but because it is abundant.\u003cbr\u003e It is an empty abundance.\u003cbr\u003e ---From the \"Prologue\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nowadays, humans have difficulty recognizing the food in front of them. \u003cbr\u003eThis is also because most of the foods our culture recommends are hidden behind layers of packaging.\u003cbr\u003e Not only have people become unaware of what they are eating, they have also forgotten the old rules of how to eat.\u003cbr\u003e This reality sometimes feels like freedom, and sometimes like chaos.\u003cbr\u003e ---From the \"Prologue\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the past, it was a given that people living in different places would eat different foods.\u003cbr\u003e It is our nature as omnivores to adapt adeptly to a variety of food environments.\u003cbr\u003e If you ask someone, “What do you eat?” you’ll likely get very different answers depending on whether you’re in Lagos or Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 1: A Brief and Amazing History of Our Table\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNumerous studies have shown that most people don't eat as much as they consume from drinks.\u003cbr\u003e Drinking water quickly moves through the intestines and quenches thirst, but does little to satisfy hunger.\u003cbr\u003e This is also true when there is sugar in the water.\u003cbr\u003e Our bodies don't seem to recognize calories from a glass, cup, or can as calories.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 2: High in Calories, Low in Nutrition\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We must remember that what we eat is not solely a matter of personal desire or need.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, even our desires are shaped by the world around us: the quantity and price of food we are supplied with, and the food stories we are fed through advertising.\u003cbr\u003e People gradually learn different desires for food over time. \u003cbr\u003eAnd what we learn is determined by the limitations and possibilities of our food supply system, not by what our bodies need.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Chapter 2: High in Calories, Low in Nutrition\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How little importance we place on meals is evident in the fact that lunch is no longer considered a given during work hours.\u003cbr\u003e In the past, most people, rich or poor, could be confident that they would have a meal break at work (assuming they had money to buy food to satisfy their hunger).\u003cbr\u003e But now, in workplaces around the world, lunch breaks are disappearing, pushed aside by the accelerating pace of life.\u003cbr\u003e (...)

Instead, many countries are experiencing the opposite situation of overeating and malnutrition.\u003cbr\u003e It is consuming too many calories while not getting enough nutrients and protein that are necessary for health.\u003cbr\u003e It's all because of the different food.\u003cbr\u003e People all over the world now eat potato chips, drink orange juice for breakfast, and eat plain yogurt for dessert, just like they watch European football anywhere.\u003cbr\u003e Bee Wilson calls the series of changes in the amount and type of food we eat a \"food revolution.\"\u003cbr\u003e The author illuminates the light and dark sides of this food revolution, noting that we have experienced a tremendous shift from a traditional diet to a globalized one in just two generations.\u003cbr\u003e (Chapter 1)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThanks to the food revolution, we have always had access to fresh ingredients, but we have also been indiscriminately exposed to salty, fatty snacks, sugary cereals, 'breads' that have never been fermented, sugary drinks in various colors, and 'health' yogurts that contain more sugar than regular yogurt.\u003cbr\u003e In the process, people all over the world are dying from adult diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.\u003cbr\u003e This is poverty amidst plenty, the result of a diet that is, so to speak, like 'avocado cheese toast.'\u003cbr\u003e Bee Wilson breaks down the reasons why our omnivorous diets are so messed up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Economics of Food Choice\u003cbr\u003e “The Story of People Who Can't Choose Better Food”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What we eat today is not solely a matter of personal desire or need. \u003cbr\u003eBecause our desires and needs are shaped by the world around us, the stories of the food we are fed.\u003cbr\u003e Food choices vary depending on each person's socioeconomic conditions.\u003cbr\u003e As working conditions, quality of life, and welfare levels deteriorate across the board and economic disparity widens, the food industry is exploiting this gap as an opportunity to pursue profits.\u003cbr\u003e They use every trick in the book to trick us into buying more stimulating foods, namely foods high in sugar, fat, and sodium.\u003cbr\u003e As a result, we are now eating food that is 'close to garbage' to a degree that was unimaginable in the past. \u003cbr\u003eBee Wilson shows us how bread, once a staple food and a measure of quality of life for Westerners, has now been reduced to a cheap, factory-made product, and how we are flooded with cheap, simple, ultra-processed foods (cereal, instant ramen, cereal bars, carbonated drinks) rather than foods that take the health of consumers into consideration (Chapter 3).\u003cbr\u003e Unlike the people of the past who were frugal with food, today's people have to save time, so this is not a food heaven, but a food hell.\u003cbr\u003e (Chapter 4)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bee Wilson argues that food, like other things we buy, should not be left to market forces alone.\u003cbr\u003e Good food plays a crucial role in our quality of life, and governments and society must understand and change that spending money on food quality regulations for everyone is never a waste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhere did all those meal times go?\u003cbr\u003e “Would you rather take a capsule?”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eJust as the quantity of food has increased but the quality has declined, our food choices have increased but our meal times have become shorter than at any other time in history.\u003cbr\u003e The authors point out that the collective obsession with not wasting time has resulted in increased snack consumption, the replacement of breakfast with convenience foods, and the disappearance of lunchtime.\u003cbr\u003e In the past, anyone, regardless of wealth, could enjoy a long meal break at work.\u003cbr\u003e There was no need to skip lunch because of work.\u003cbr\u003e But today, workers' workplaces often display posters proclaiming, \"45 minutes is the new hour,\" and lunch hours are often spent shopping, exercising, or working overtime.\u003cbr\u003e (Chapter 4)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bee Wilson takes a critical look at the reality that people find meals a chore, prioritize work, and would rather eat in capsules. \u003cbr\u003eThen, he scolds me by saying, \"How can you find time to watch TV?\" while not spending the time you should be spending on food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeople who are always looking for superfoods\u003cbr\u003e “Since when have we been drinking coconut water?”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem doesn't stop there.\u003cbr\u003e The obsession with consuming more nutrients in a shorter period of time has given rise to countless 'superfoods'.\u003cbr\u003e Quinoa, avocado, coconut water, natural yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, pesto, pomegranate juice, protein bars, gluten free… .\u003cbr\u003e Every year, experts persistently come up with a list of mysterious foods that they claim will become a craze any minute now.\u003cbr\u003e Bee Wilson warns against these 'superfoods' as they are not only prohibitively expensive, but can also be a food fraud.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, he says, choosing foods that are off the beaten path can save you money and help promote food diversity.\u003cbr\u003e (Chapter 5, Chapter 7)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe idea that food is both pleasure and fuel\u003cbr\u003e “We need to increase access to good food.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So what exactly are we putting in our mouths every day? Is it truly unproblematic?
