ALL CONSUMING Why We Eat The Way We Eat Now

Ruby Tandoh narrates her audiobook with quiet confidence. Her straightforward delivery mirrors her central message that food, though more abundant than ever, can still leave us starved for more than nutrients. She traces how food in the affluent West began as simple nourishment and an expression of family, history, and community through its recipes, stories, and traditions. Now it's evolved into a reflection of identity shaped by class, advertising, branding, and trends. While Tandoh conveys the hollowness of modern food culture, her tone remains curious and observant, rather than judgmental. An insightful journey through the evolution of how we produce, consume, and think about what we eat. M.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
