Starvation Mode | Elissa Washuta

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

In Starvation Mode, Elissa Washuta crafts a personal accounting of her struggle for culinary control, and presents the guidelines she followed as she attempted to shape her body and mind through the food she consumed. The book's seemingly simple structure (a series of rules to eat and live by) contrasts with the powerful way she pulls readers into a complicated story of our needs and the cultural pressures that shape us.

Starvation Mode | Elissa Washuta

Mostly, this book made me angry. Or rather let me say, I just finished the book, and I am angry. I‘m angry at men, both thoughtless men and manipulative men. I‘m angry about the male gaze. I‘m angry at body norms and advertisers and all kinds of things. But I don‘t know if this is right. Washuta shows you things in this book, but then immediately undercuts the easy interpretation. Does my anger here allow for her agency? I don‘t know.
