Are we eating ourselves to death? Our food landscape orients us to things external to our bodies – to industries, celebrities, scientific claims, laws, foodstuffs, and brand allegiance. Dr. Jonathan Crane proposes an approach that reclaims persons as eaters – a powerful start to learning how to eat (just) enough.

He earned a B.A. (summa cum laude) from Wheaton College in Massachusetts, a M.A. in international peace studies from the University of Notre Dame, a M.Phil. in Gandhian thought from Gujarat Vidyapith in India, a M.A. in Hebrew Literature and rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York, and a Ph.D. in religion from the University of Toronto.
