Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year 2020




'Addresses the paradox of our age: why as we become progressively wealthier, our diets become ever poorer . . . the villains of the piece are familiar and plentiful and Wilson lays them bare' The Times




'I always walk away from her writing feeling more hopeful than despondent, resolved to do better for myself, my family and the planet' Chris Ying



A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how modern food has transformed our lives and our world. To re-establish eating as something that gives us both joy and health, we need to find out where we are right now, how we got here and where we're going.
