Why do Americans recoil at the thought of dog meat? Jews and Moslems, pork? Hindus, beef? Why do Asians abhor milk? In Good to Eat, bestselling author Marvin Harris leads readers on an informative detective adventure to solve the world's major food puzzles. He explains the diversity of the world's gastronomic customs, demonstrating that what appear at first glance to be irrational food tastes turn out really to have been shaped by practical, or economic, or political necessity. In addition, his smart and spirited treatment sheds wisdom on such topics as why there has been an explosion in fast food, why history indicates that it's "bad" to eat people but "good" to kill them, and why children universally reject spinach. <i>Good to Eat</i> is more than an intellectual adventure in food for thought. It is a highly readable, scientifically accurate, and fascinating work that demystifies the causes of myriad human cultural differences. 2458273 1986 Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture total:41|5:11|4:18|3:11|2:1|1:0| 41 162 77 8 60659 1577660153 9781577660156 38 8 Good to Eat: Riddles of Food and Culture 3.95 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170543992m/60659.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60659.Good_to_Eat_Riddles_of_Food_and_Culture 5 2 false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed May 16 05:44:32 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 01 11:18:14 -0700 2007
