Editor's Note:
Uskonnot ohjaavat monin tavoin, mitä, miten ja milloin ihmiset syövät. Ruoka kuuluu rituaaleihin ja juhliin, se on pyhää tai jyrkästi kiellettyä ja sen kautta pyritään tiiviimpään yhteyteen jumalan kanssa. Toisaalta joskus kuulee sanottavan, että ruoka on uusi uskonto: esimerkiksi tietynlaisen ruokavalion noudattaminen voi muistuttaa uskonnollisten oppien seuraamista. Ruokaan kietoutuu myös paljon elämänkatsomuksellisia ja eettisiä kysymyksiä, jotka ovat saaneet entistä enemmän kaikupohjaa ekokriisin aikakaudella.Pyhä, paha ruoka tarkastelee ruokaa uskonnon ja etiikan tutkimuksen välinein. Se johdattaa eri uskontojen ruokakulttuureihin ja niiden keskeisiin ideoihin, joita valaisevat esimerkit niin menneisyydestä kuin nykyajastakin. Teoksessa tarkastellaan myös, miten ruokaan liittyvät eettiset valinnat ja niiden taustalla olevat arvot suhteutuvat uskontojen opetuksiin hyvästä elämästä ja ihmisen roolista eliökunnassa.Pyhä, paha ruoka on ensimmäinen suomenkielinen tietokirja, jossa käsitellään ruoan ja uskonnon suhdetta kattavasti ja eri uskontoperinteissä.
