美國名廚愛莉絲．華特斯※《美食雜誌》（Gourmet）列為過去三十年間美國廚房內最具影響力的人物※※《法國美食和美酒》雜誌列為世界十大名廚之一※※詹姆斯•比爾德基金會最佳廚師獎，是第一位獲得此獎的女性※※安東尼․波登譽為可敬的對手※※成功說服歐巴馬，在白宮後院花園裡開闢自耕小菜圃※原文書名we are what we eat 來自英文日常的俗語you are what you eat。這句話第一次被提及是1826年的法國哲學家薩瓦蘭（Anthelme Brillat-Savarin寫道：「告訴我你吃什麼，我會告訴你你是誰。」（Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are）探究其含義，就是你放入體內的食物構成了你的身體，並且吃的食物應該給我們帶來健康和快樂。速度是速食文化最有力也最危險的引擎，卯足全力推著我們快速前進，走馬看花般飛速略過了本該仔細思量的各種問題。我們無暇顧及食物從何而來、無暇探究食物為何可以如此便宜、無暇思考廣告商是否別有用心，最可怕的是，我們壓根兒沒有察覺速食文化中的這些價值觀正以野火燎原之勢，一步步蠶食我們的生活、腐蝕我們的心志。美國名廚愛莉絲．華特斯深感當今世界面臨的許多嚴重問題――從貧窮、飢荒、疫情與農業發展衰退到藥物成癮、憂鬱、水資源、勞工剝削、外籍移民以及氣候變遷帶來的種種威脅――從根本上講都跟速食文化有關。速食指的並不侷限於麥當勞、必勝客或Subway之流，而是「食材在生長過程中使用農藥，再透過工業化大量生產，並且採用人工添加劑與防腐劑的加工食品」。通常這類食品無所不在，雜貨店、便利商店都有其蹤跡，也是透過外送服務動動手指就輕鬆送上門的餐點。速食代表的不僅僅只是食物，更是一種文化。速食文化就如同其他文化一樣有自成一格的價值觀。當你大啖著速食或經常與速食為伍，這不但會導致生理上的營養不良，連心理都會在不知不覺中「攝取」了速食文化的價值觀，就像速食餵養你的身體，這些價值觀也會餵養你的心靈。一旦你接納了這些價值觀，就已然播下了變化的種子，你對事物的看法會開始改變、口味會開始改變，甚至連道德標準和期望也隨之轉變。結果你的慾望和食慾都受到速食文化的操控卻不自知。你的世界開始充斥著你所吸收的價值觀，理所當然地認為世界就該如此運轉：任何東西隨時隨地都應該唾手可得；凡事永遠多多益善；不論季節和

To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989). Readers can find the source of each articles in the table of contents and editor’s note per article. Of the eight articles, only the last one is from Drucker’s works on management.
