Eating in a transnational food chain: Culture, identity, and the most pressing questions of a global food system [Book review]

First paragraph: In a world where we rely on an extremely intricate web of players to deliver food daily to our plates, Julian Baggini does not stray away from delving into the interlinking of politics, power, and choice that contribute to our transnational food systems complexities in How the World Eats. In a year when tariffs on goods and deportations of farmworkers are being put into action by the current Trump administration, reading this book will be crucial to understanding how people interact with each other when it comes to food and why it matters so much. How the World Eats is highly relevant and necessary to read in 2025. Baggini brings a philosophical background to exploring our global food system— one that is crucial to understanding how and why decisions are made and how we choose to feed ourselves as human beings. . . .

Abstract

First paragraph: In a world where we rely on an extremely intricate web of players to deliver food daily to our plates, Julian Baggini does not stray away from delving into the interlinking of politics, power, and choice that contribute to our transnational food systems complexities in How the World Eats. In a year when tariffs on goods and deportations of farmworkers are being put into action by the current Trump administration, reading this book will be crucial to understanding how people interact with each other when it comes to food and why it matters so much. How the World Eats is highly relevant and necessary to read in 2025. Baggini brings a philosophical background to exploring our global food system— one that is crucial to understanding how and why decisions are made and how we choose to feed ourselves as human beings. . . .
