Book Discussion
Contested Tastes: Foie Gras and the Politics of Food by Michaela DeSoucey

Author Michaela DeSoucey leads the conversation in this friendly group discussion.

“With great detail and care, DeSoucey analyzes the debates and controversies surrounding the production and consumption of foie gras, and in doing so delves into broader trends of food politics, taste, and morality. Fans of The Omnivore's Dilemma . . . will want to add this one to their bookshelves” —Terence E. McDonnell, University of Notre Dame
