Roth's thesis, that the way we eat reflects our core beliefs about life, is thought provoking. I'm not sure she's wrong, but I'm not sure she's right either. So far, Roth's writing has led me to consider and reconsider the way our society views food and eating and women and how all of those things connect to various beliefs about life and God and spirituality.
Eating is one of the most significant pieces of American culture, and Roth has tapped into that in a powerful way to explain the severity and danger of compulsive eating as an attempt to solve bigger problems in our lives.
I'm enjoying grappling with her assertions.
