An exploration, both personal and deeply reported, of how we learn to eat in today's toxic food culture.

Food is supposed to sustain and nourish us. 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. When her newborn daughter stopped eating after a medical crisis, Virginia Sole-Smith spent two years teaching her how to feel safe around food again -- and in the process, realized just how many of us are struggling to do the same thing.

The Eating Instinct 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. Every struggle is unique. But Sole-Smith shows how they're also all products of our modern food culture. And they're all asking the same questions: How did I learn to eat this way? Why is it so hard to feel good about food? And how can I make it better?

Does Everything and More
Color: Oak
This stand allows me to raise my large monitor. It also gives me storage space for my sound bar, laptop, pillcase and more! I place my keyboard and mouse pad on the lowest portion of the stand when not in use. I like the two drawers on the side. I also like that there is room for a light and pencil case holder to the right of it. I had a real problem organizing my stuff on my desk but now I have a location for everything. I survived without it for so long, but now that I have the stand, I am really please with the set up. The only down side to having this with a large monitor is that it will block out a window completely. I had to buy a gaming light and install it from behind to give light to the front of the desk. Now my desk is fabulous. Great product but make sure that your desk is large enough to house this monitor riser as it is large. It does go on sale occasionally. So you can put a watch on the stand and purchase it when the price drops.

Great organizer
Color: Oak, Color: Oak
I was searching for a desk organizer that would provide some organization while also allowing me to keep my monitors at a comfortable height for better visibility. After reading positive reviews, I decided to purchase this item. I’m thoroughly satisfied with it. It features two drawer slots underneath, perfect for storing my folders. The design complements my desk, which I found to be an ideal match. The assembly process was straightforward, and I managed to put it together myself. I highly recommend this product.
