Description:... Critically reflecting on the interplays between food and care, this multidisciplinary volume asks ‘why do individuals, institutions and agencies care about what other people eat?’ It explores how acts of caring about food and eating shape and intervene in individual bodies as well as being enacted in and through those bodies. Careful Eating asks what ‘eating’ and ‘caring’ are, what relationships they create and rupture, and how their interplay is experienced in myriad spaces of everyday life.
