Harris Solomon's study of everyday dietary health and illness in Mumbai, India, depicts a landscape of intersections: wealth with poverty, starvation with satiety, body with environment. Metabolic Living—the book's title as well as its core heuristic—pertains to the idea that bodies and surroundings are always absorbing one another; twisting insides out, outsides in, and destabilising the finitude of knowledge. The innovative force of the heuristic of metabolic living lies in how it makes evident the inadequacy of efforts to understand the causes of healthy metabolism by analysing individual variables.

在印度吸收新陈代谢疾病

哈里斯·所罗门（Harris Solomon）对印度孟买日常饮食健康和疾病的研究描绘了一个交汇处：财富与贫穷，饥饿与饱腹，身体与环境。新陈代谢的生活-这本书的标题及其核心启发-坚持这样一种观念，即身体和周围环境总是相互吸收。由内而外，由内而外地扭曲和破坏知识的有限性。代谢性生活启发式的创新力量在于，它如何通过分析个体变量来证明努力理解健康代谢原因的努力不足。
