"No reader will be able to take a mouthful of food in the same light again after reading this beautifully written and original book. Wirzba achieves admirably what he sets out to do in the introduction, namely, to challenge our ignorance about what we eat in order to bring his readers to a greater and more profound awareness of creaturely interdependence. This book is not just an analytical account of where modern industrial cultures have gone wrong in their displacement from a true appreciation of the sources and relationships involved in food production. It is also a bold and imaginative theological effort in helping modern Christian believers perceive and pay attention to the importance of grace-filled eating and its relationship with the death of other creaturely kinds. Although avowedly not a book about ethics, this book does far more than any straight text on the ethics of current practices might achieve, because it touches the heart of religious sensibility around food and invites a transformative response." - Celia Deane-Drummond, Professor of Theology and the Biological Sciences and Director of the Centre for Religion and the Biosciences, University of Chester.
