The Foreword of What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets is entertaining and informative. Click to read what 25 people (most of whom you will recognize) have to say about diet, nutrition, and eating habits [pdf]. The range of topics is wide, and includes yoga, temptation, taste, pornographic food, hunger, health, and cooking.
With many eye-catching photos, the book is beautiful. I'm not surprised it is ranked #1 in the category of "Photojournalism" at Amazon. Most of the photos can be viewed at the book's Web site.
Note: Review of the book (includes some good photos) from Brain Pickings. Excerpt:
Part Food, Inc., part FridgeWatcher, the project is a potent antidote to Neil Burgess’s recent rant about the death of photojournalism — What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets is a bundle of storytelling and humanity that unravels itself before your eyes, leaving you hungry to better understand the correlation between food, environment and quality of life.
