Tell Me How You Eat by Amber Husain

If you are what you eat, what does that make you? Virtuous? Cool? Immortal? Or deviant, pitiful, ill? Is it useful to make these judgements? Do they help us improve our lives? In a world where it feels as though the value of your life can be gauged by the goodness in your dinner, it is possible, even easy, to lose the will to live. This became particularly obvious to Amber Husain when suddenly, despite almost 30 years of practice, it seemed she had forgotten how to eat.
