Bibliography.This book explores the cultural and religious politics of the contemporary food movement, starting from the example of Jewish foodies, their zeal for pig (forbidden by Jewish law), and their talk about why ignoring traditional precepts around food is desirable. Focusing on the work of Michael Pollan, Jonathan Schorsch questions the modernist, materialist, and rationalist worldview of many foodies and discusses their lack of attention to culture, tradition, and religion. .Palgrave pivot.Judaism and cultureSustainabilityClimatologyJewish Cultural StudiesSustainabilityClimate SciencesJudaism and culture.Sustainability.Climatology.Jewish Cultural Studies.Sustainability.Climate Sciences.296.38Schorsch Jonathanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut989014BOOK9910300617403321The Food Movement, Culture, and Religion2261630UNINA
