Grasa : Una historia cultural de la materia de la vida

Fat: a humble molecule that makes life possible. A substance on the borderline between solid and liquid. An ambiguous nutrient, loved for its flavor and condemned for its excess. A source of desire and sensuality, and at the same time of repugnance and condemnation. A sacred substance that sanctifies and a mundane element with which to fertilize, fatten, or cook. Fat is a constant presence from conception to the putrefaction of our bodies, a reminder of nature's infinite cycle of generation and corruption.
