What better way to fill in much spare time at home during the Malaysian Movement Control Order (MCO) than by reading at home. This is the first book I have completed reading during this MCO period. I will be uploading more books I have read during this downtrodden moment.
In Facebook, many posts abound on new recipes created at home during this stay-home order. But are these meals nutritionally adequate or will do more harm to body systems? It is therefore crucial to understand how to eat well despite restrictions on acquiring groceries and limited food at home. This book encourages readers to take small steps in changing their diet by making us understand the reality of what eating is all about.
We are not born knowing what to eat; we each have to figure it out for ourselves. From childhood onwards, we learn how big a portion is and how sweet is too sweet. The way we learn to eat holds the key to why food has gone so disastrously wrong for so many people.
But how does this happen? And can we ever change our food habits for the better?
An exploration of the extraordinary and surprising origins of our taste and eating habits, in this book, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson explains how we can change our palates to lead healthier, happier lives.
Written story-like with personal accounts and inputs from those who struggled with diets and found solace in healthy meals, this book is a stimulating read to learn how we eat in detail. Stay safe at home and read the days away!
