Eat Up: Food, Appetite and Eating What You Want by Ruby Tandoh
informative
medium-paced
3.5
Would have been good if I read this 5 to 6 years ago. Feels a bit dated now. Talks a lot about food trends which have now passed and also has a lot of pop cultural references which now are really outdated, including one about kim kardashian and kanye west being soulmates , which is funny, but also not funny to look back at.

Bro predicted so much in this. It still is applicable 20 years on. Will be looking for notes on it since I listened as an audio book!

I'm not sure i actually learned very much here besides some framework bamea. I was hoping for more insight into thinking in systems, but learned more to think about consequences. Which I suppose is the same thing.

I don't know what to think of this book. What on earth was that ending. I couldn't tell if it was overly verbose and navel gazey to make a point or it was a victim of what they were trying to parody...? It was definitely memorable
