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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen her newborn daughter stopped eating after a medical crisis, Virginia Sole-Smith spent two years teaching her how to feel safe around food again amp;mdash; and in the process, realized just how many of us are struggling to do the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Eating Instinct\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery struggle is unique.
