How The World Eats: Wanstead Book Festival presents Julian Baggini

Philosopher Julian Baggini has for two decades demystified the role of philosophy in public life, discussing in clear and easy-to-understand terms the principles behind some of our modern dilemmas. In How The World Eats: A Global Food Philosophy, he examines how the choices we make about what to eat influence the way we live, with most of us now relying on a global web of food production, distribution, consumption and disposal. The need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent, he argues, as he explores new technologies and practices and calls for a new humane global food philosophy.
