520    Deciding what to eat and how to eat it are two of the most
       basic acts of everyday life. Yet every choice also implies
       a value judgement: 'good' foods versus 'bad', 'proper' and
       'improper' ways of eating, and 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' 
       bodies. These food decisions are influenced by a range of 
       social, political and economic bioauthorities, and 
       mediated through the individual 'eating body'. This book 
       is unique in the cultural politics of food in its 
       exploration of a range of such bioauthorities and in its 
       examination of the interplay between them and the 
       individual eating body. No matter whether they are 
       accepted or resisted, our eating practices and preferences
       are shaped by, and shape, these agencies. Abbots places 
       the body, materiality and the non-human at the heart of 
       her analysis, interrogating not only how the individual's 
       embodied eating practices incorporate and reject the 
       bioauthorities of food, but also how such authorities are 
       created by the individual act of eating. Drawing on 
       ethnographic case studies from across the globe, The 
       Agency of Eating provides an important analysis of the 
       power dynamics at play in the contemporary food system and
       the ways in which agency is expressed and bounded. This 
       book will be of great benefit to any reader with an 
       interest in food studies, anthropology, sociology and 
       human geography. --Bloomsbury Publishing.
