Moreish

The Hidden Secrets of What We Eat and Why

By: Matt Buttrick

Narrated by: David Thorpe

Moreish digs into the unseen triggers, secret influences and mysterious motivations hovering above the table every time we get peckish.

Explore the impact of words in menu construction alongside the power of comfort food; why the first bite is not always with the eyes; and how the worlds of sex, symbolism and animal instinct are simmering just beneath the surface in all of us.

Continually eye opening and perceptive, often witty and entertaining, Moreish sets a place for persuasive packaging, in your face pop songs, underhand menu writing and over the top advertising. It demonstrates that while we often feel fully in control of our food choices the opposite is almost definitely true.

If you've ever eaten food, this book is for you.
