About Hungry:

In Hungry, Eve Turow-Paul breaks down how today’s top food, wellness, and lifestyle trends—from gluten-free to the DIY movement—reflect a global culture hungry for control, community and purpose. Weaving together evolutionary psychology and sociology, original research, and captivating investigative reporting from around the world (from a futuristic grocery store in Beijing to a vegan speed dating event in New York City), Hungry reveals our most basic human needs and reviews how today’s technology-driven environment impacts our abilities to meet these innate needs.

What’s Inside Hungry?

• The connection between the “death” of the cereal industry and access to work email on our smartphones
• How posting images of our dinners on social media reflects a hunger for human connection in an increasingly isolated world
• The ways “diet tribes” and boutique fitness gyms substitute for organized religion
• How access to round-the-clock news relates to the blowback against GMO foods
• How wellness retreats, astrology, plant parenthood, and other top lifestyle trends ease modern anxieties
• Why urban and suburban born Millennials are becoming farmers, brewers and woodworkers
• Why “eating local” might not only be a key solution to our current global sense of disconnection, but also key to solving the climate crisis.
