Food is a basic necessity, not an opportunity for manipulation. It is time to elevate the food conversation above B.S. so you can avoid frustration and anxiety the next time you are making eating choices. Hopefully, Food Bullying: How to Avoid Buying B.S. will help you do just that!
The book is arranged to first frame food bullying, including an examination of different levels of bullying and then to offer familiar examples of bully figures in food fairy tales and folklore. The third section outlines the who, what, why, where, when, and how in understanding food bullying, including what it’s doing to our brains. The fourth section includes food label descriptions—and how you should manage and evaluate those to avoid information overload. The book’s final section offers specific tools to help you find your own solutions, including your personalized action plan to help you create a better food story.
