Reviews

“What you put in your mouth, how you put it in your mouth, and indeed what you do not put in your mouth, informs us of the individual’s struggle to situate him or herself within a particular social and cultural context. Bethany Morris’ book offers readers a truly unique vantage point into American dieting behaviours from a Lacanian perspective. The Lacanian perspective is absolutely essential for understanding contemporary American diet culture today. This is a valuable resource and will leave all readers with more than enough to chew on.” Duane Rousselle, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Nipissing University, Canada
