Foof For Though Book Club Reading ‘First Bite’


We are not born knowing what to eat; as omnivores it is something we each have to figure out for ourselves. From childhood onward, we learn how big a “portion” is and how sweet is too sweet. We learn to enjoy green vegetables—or not. But how does this education happen? What are the origins of taste?
In “First Bite,” award-winning food writer Wilson draws on the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists, and nutritionists to reveal that our food habits are shaped by a whole host of factors: family and culture, memory and gender, hunger and love.
The book club is offered in partnership with the Inland Northwest Food Network.
For a list of upcoming books, check the INWFN website: /inwfoodnetwork.org/.
The Food for Thought Book Club is reading “First bite: How We Learn to Eat” by Bee Wilson. The book will be discussed Wednesday March 1, at 6 p.m. in the Gozzer Room.
