Verlichte kostFilosofen hebben een hekel aan eten. Bijna geen enkel onderwerp gaven ze immers zo weinig aandacht als voeding. Sinds wijsgeren het verschil tussen lichaam en geest verzonnen, werd nadenken over kauwen en slikken en verwerken en ontlasten toch nt iets minder edel gevonden dan peinzen over de vrije wil of het aanwijzen van de categorische imperatief.

Filosofen hebben een hekel aan eten. Bijna geen enkel onderwerp gaven ze immers zo weinig aandacht als voeding. Sinds wijsgeren het verschil tussen lichaam en geest verzonnen, werd nadenken over kauwen en slikken en verwerken en ontlasten toch nét iets minder edel gevonden dan peinzen over de vrije wil of het aanwijzen van de categorische imperatief.

En wij zitten met de ellende. Mensen zoeken massaal hun weg door het voedsellandschap, maar zonder filosofische landkaart moet iedereen een eigen route vinden … en we zijn flink verdwaald. Hoe verklaar je anders dat er steeds meer vegetariërs én steeds meer vleeskippen zijn; dat hipsters kwijlen over goddelijke gojibessen, terwijl hippies vechten voor kromme komkommers; en dat bestsellerlijsten vol staan met bourgondische kookboeken naast sobere dieetschriftjes?

Toch is er hoop. Veel geleerden schreven namelijk wel iets over eten. Vaak een bijzin of een voetnoot, maar meer dan noppes. Verlichte kost onderzoekt wat grote denkers dachten over voedsel én wat hun ideeën voor ons betekenen. Wist je dat Thomas More de bio-industrie heeft uitgevonden? Dat Sokrates een slim plan tegen epidemisch overgewicht had? Of dat Rousseau het beleid van Monsanto bedacht? Verlichte kost is de smakelijke eerste stap naar een échte voedselfilosofie.

Rik Peters (1987) is journalist en redacteur. Hij schrijft over wetenschap en filosofie, en publiceerde onder meer in NRC Handelsblad, KIJK, Nieuwe Revu en het lokale huis-aan-huisblad De Maas- en Geleenbode. Daarnaast eet hij al 28 jaar gemiddeld zo’n drie keer per dag. Met een losse toon, een flinke dosis humor en een scherp oog voor onverwachte verbanden loodst hij zijn lezers door ruim tweeduizend jaar filosofie, én door de menukaart.

Fun story for reluctant readers with the comics. My daughter is very picky about what she reads and this caught her eye.

Really fun and engaging book
Format: Paperback
My 9 year old loves graphic novels, and has previously read the Cat Ninja series, so when I saw this I wanted to get it for her. She said it was a really fun and funny book, and she loved the time traveling aspect of it. She sat and read the whole thing through without stopping. And she gives it 5 stars. :) So if you have a kiddo who likes graphic novels like Cat Ninja, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, etc., this is a good book for them!

Fun read
Format: Paperback
My son says he doesnt enjoy reading but once he gets going he quickly gets pulled in. He said he'd seen the Epic books at school and he typically liked them, so we gave it a try. He read it in about 2 days, its summer so its amazing he read to begin with, but in asking him, he said it was a good story and it was easy to read. Honestly I like my kids to have books that are easy to read but will throw in the occasional big word as a learning opportunity. The book quality itself is really nice. From cover to cover the book is well made and feels durable. The illustrations are bright and well done. Overall I would highly recommend this to any child who might enjoy time travel with a touch of history.

A fun, comic style book
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My fourth grader really enjoyed this book and asked if it was a part of a series. We didn't sit down and read it in one setting and usually when that happens we forget to come back and finish a book..... But she didn't forget about this one. Will probably reread it in the future too. The pages are nice quality and the colors are bright. The print is a little bit on the teeny side; But that's pretty typical in comic style print. We were really happy with it! I think a kid as young as second or third grade could also enjoy this book if they are reading skills are a little on the stronger side. I've sat with 5th graders who would read it this level too.
