Description: A "deeply empathetic" (Publishers Weekly starred review) "must - read" (Marion Nestle) that "weaves lyrical storytelling and fascinating research into a compelling narrative" (San Francisco Chronicle) to look at dietary differences along class lines and nutritional disparities in America illuminating exactly how inequality starts on the dinner plate. Inequality in America manifests in many ways but perhaps nowhere more than in how we eat. From her years of field research sociologist and ethnographer Priya Fielding - Singh brings us into the kitchens of dozens of families from varied educational economic and ethnoracial backgrounds to explore how - and why - we eat the way we do. We get to know four families intimately: the Bakers a Black family living below the federal poverty line; the Williamses a working - class white family just above it; the Ortegas a middle - class Latinx family; and the Cains an affluent white family. Whether it's worrying about how far pantry provisions can stretch or whether there's enough time to get dinner on the table before soccer practice all families have unique experiences that reveal their particular dietary constraints and challenges. By diving into the nuances of these families lives Fielding - Singh lays bare the limits of efforts narrowly focused on improving families food access. Instead she reveals how being rich or poor in America impacts something even more fundamental than the food families can afford: these experiences impact the very meaning of food itself. Packed with lyrical storytelling and groundbreaking research as well as Fielding - Singh's personal experiences with food as a biracial South Asian American woman How the Other Half Eats illuminates exactly how inequality starts on the dinner plate. Once you've taken a seat at tables across America you'll never think about class food and public health the same way again.
