from Barry Glassner website:

We believe that if we eat the right foods we will live longer, and if we eat in the right places, we will raise our social status. Yet what we believe to be true about food is, in fact, quite contradictory. In the same compelling way he debunked overblown fears in The Culture of Fear, sociologist Barry Glassner now reveals the reason we are so captivated, and confused, by food.
