ABOUT THE BOOK

For the last fifty years, we have been fighting a losing war on food. We have cut
fat, reduced carbs, eliminated sugar, and attempted every conceivable diet only to
find that eighty-eight million American adults are prediabetic, more than a hundred
million have high blood pressure, and nearly half now qualify as obese. The harder
we try to control what we eat, the more unhealthy we become. Why?

Mark Schatzker has spent his career traveling the world in search of the answer. In
The Dorito Effect, he revealed the startling relationship between flavor and
nutrition. In Steak, he was one of the first authors to recognize the critical
importance of regenerative agriculture. Now, in The End of Craving, he poses an
even more profound question: What if the key to nutrition and good health lies not
in resisting the primal urge to eat but in understanding its purpose?

Beginning in the mountains of Europe and the fields of the Old South, Schatzker
embarks on a quest to uncover the lost art of eating and living well. Along the way,
he visits brain scanning laboratories and hog farms, and encounters cultural
oddities and scientific paradoxes—northern Italians eat what may be the world’s
most delicious cuisine, yet are among the world’s thinnest people; laborers in
southern India possess an inborn wisdom to eat their way from sickness to good
health. Schatzker reveals how decades of advancements in food technology have
turned the brain’s drive to eat against the body, placing us in an unrelenting state of
craving. Only by restoring the relationship between nutrition and the essential joy of
eating can we hope to lead longer and happier lives.

Combining cutting-edge science and ancient wisdom, The End of Craving is an
urgent and radical investigation that will fundamentally change how we understand
both food and ourselves.
