Synopsis

Surprising Food Myths tackles the pervasive food-related beliefs that shape our eating habits and cultural identities. It examines common myths, like whether sugar truly causes hyperactivity in children, and explores the surprising realities behind them, drawing from scientific literature, historical records, and expert interviews. The book reveals how folklore, marketing, and scientific misunderstandings contribute to the creation and persistence of these myths, often impacting our health and dietary choices. Did you know the "five-second rule" has some basis in surface science, or that the advice to wait before swimming after eating is more about pool crowding than cramps?

 
The book begins by exploring the origins and psychology behind food myths, then dismantles specific myths related to nutrition, food safety, and cooking techniques. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the science behind our food beliefs to make informed decisions. By presenting complex information in an accessible style and avoiding technical jargon, Surprising Food Myths empowers readers to critically evaluate food-related information, unravel cultural biases, and adopt healthier eating habits. The book concludes with actionable advice on navigating dietary choices.

    Survival Food - North Woods...

    In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller. “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.” —Chef Sean Sherman, author, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen “Survival Food is interesting because it’s one part cookbook, three parts memoir, one part history, and one part multidisciplinary exploration of its setting, northern Wisconsin." —James Norton, The Cookbook Test
