An exploration, both personal and deeply reported, of how we learn to eat in today's toxic food culture.

Food is supposed to sustain and nourish us. Eating well, any doctor will tell you, is the best way to take care of yourself. Feeding well, any human will tell you, is the most important job a mother has. But for too many of us, food now feels dangerous. We parse every bite we eat as good or bad, and judge our own worth accordingly. When her newborn daughter stopped eating after a medical crisis, Virginia Sole-Smith spent two years teaching her how to feel safe around food again -- and in the process, realized just how many of us are struggling to do the same thing.

The Eating Instinct visits kitchen tables around America to tell Sole-Smith's own story, as well as the stories of women recovering from weight loss surgery, of people who eat only nine foods, of families with unlimited grocery budgets and those on food stamps. Every struggle is unique. But Sole-Smith shows how they're also all products of our modern food culture. And they're all asking the same questions: How did I learn to eat this way? Why is it so hard to feel good about food? And how can I make it better?

Soft, moisture wicking
Color: Stormy Grey, Size: Standard
Super soft pillow cases, very nice against face. They are also moisture wicking and dont seem to hold heat. My new favorite brand of sheets/pillows/pillowcases and maybe one day a bed.

Miracle. It's a miracle.
Size: Standard (Medium)
After years and years of searching for a comfortable pillow, I've finally found it! I was hesitant to try latex because I have severe sensory issues and thought it would be weird, smelly and maybe noisy. I really couldn't envision how it would work. The reality is a perfectly bouncy soft pillow that supports your head and neck at just the right height and has immediate bounce back so that when you turn in the night you don't have to waste hours or even minutes fluffing plumping positioning or any other nonsense... You just flip yourself over and go back to sleep. It's a friggin miracle!!! There is a very faint though tolerable and fading scent of balloons. Not too bad for me, but might be annoying to some. Overall, thank goodness I bought this pillow. I'm tempted to replace all my pillows with latex ones but... I don't really need any other pillows now! Maybe I will just so I have spares or something. Granted, it's only been about a week but I expect it to be fairly durable and hold it's quality for quite a while. So thrilled! Just so happy with this purchase! Ten stars, ten hearts!

Very Firm Latex Medium, Appears Well-made
Size: Standard (Medium)
I love latex pillows, used them for decades. Then I got led astray! My neck reminded me I need firm, but soft and bouncy. This pillow is surprisingly firm for a medium. So think twice before ordering firm.

Comfortable but smaller than a standard pillow.
Size: Standard (Medium)
The pillow is bit smaller than standard length wise. It takes a while for the smell to go away. Very comfortable pillow.
