Synopsis
Under the Crust is a critical exploration of the stories we tell about food, health, and science-and of the fears and simplifications that often replace genuine understanding.
Bread, one of humanity's oldest foods, has long been more than nourishment. It has carried symbolic weight, cultural meaning, and moral judgments, becoming a fertile ground for myths, anxieties, and ideological battles. In contemporary discourse, bread and food more broadly are frequently framed through narratives of purity, danger, and blame, where scientific language is invoked but rarely respected.
This book brings together a series of essays that examine how pseudoscience, selective evidence, and seductive storytelling shape public perceptions of nutrition and risk. Topics include the demonization of ingredients, the confusion between hazard and probability, the misuse of "natural" as a scientific argument, and the transformation of science into a rhetorical ornament rather than a method of inquiry.
Under the Crust does not offer diets, rules, or easy answers. Instead, it invites skepticism, intellectual responsibility, and careful thinking in a field dominated by certainty without evidence. It is written for readers interested in food, science, and culture-and for anyone willing to question comforting narratives in favor of clarity and reason.
