Rating: Summary: Ideal reference for eating habits and disorders Review: The Psychology of Eating is essentially a synopsis of various food and eating habits investigations conducted over the past 25 years. Ogden juxtaposes studies about food choice, obesity and dieting the contradict one another.
The Psychology of Eating is broad in it focus and sets forth no controversial theories. However, I found linking the practice of Chinese foot binding, corsets, and dieting and extreme stretch. Women can choose to diet, some Chinese girls were forced to have their feet bound.
Ogden summaries the importance of the studies while pin-pointing their inherit shortcomings. The book serves as a practical reference and bibliography for anyone interested in exploring topics pertaining to diet, eating disorders, and obesity.
