Description:

A delightful feast of facts about food. Chronicling habits of collecting, storing and consuming food developed throughout the animal kingdom, the author untangles the links of the food chain, explains how animals (including humans) learn which plants and animals are safe to eat, and probes the connections between food and reproduction, food sharing and evolution and food and social power. Along the way, she reveals why the taste of madeleines precipitated a remembrance of things past for Proust's literary hero and why, for many of us, food is more than just nourishment, it is joy, pleasure, gratitude and love.
