God, I was cold! My hands were freezing up as I frantically worked to prepare as much of the trap as I could before stripping down and wading in to set the critical anchor—three atlatl darts I would stab into the bottom of the pond to form a kind of tripod, and to which I would attach the snare’s anchor line. Behind me the mountains loomed like gray giants of mist, fog, and rock, the sky a leaden menace threatening more snow any minute.
While some people may be asking “What should I eat?,” the equally—if not more—important question that must accompany this is “How should I eat?” Most people will take the latter question quite literally, as in “What time should I eat?” or “How much should I eat?” or “Should I eat slowly?” But in the context of my latest book, Eat Like a Human, I ask readers to expand their thinking about this word beyond those literal questions.
Nor would I expect you, for instance, to trash everything in your pantry, dump out your refrigerator, and upend your life to make a radical change . For some of you, even a small foray into the “how” of food may be sufficient. But if you’re reading this, I suspect that food and your relationship to it is a subject into which you’ve already put a lot of time and thought.
