| book description |
This introduction to the sociology of food highlights the social and cultural dimensions of the human food system, from production to consumption; and encourages us to consider new ways of thinking about the apparently mundane, everyday act of eating. A broad conceptual frameworkis used, based on the proposition that the food systems and food consumption patterns of contemporary Western societies are the products of the complex interplay of the social forces of change and innovation on the one hand, and those which engender stability and continuity. The main areas covered include the origins of human subsistence, the development of the modern food system, food and the family, eating out, diet and health, food risks and food scares, dieting and body image, the meanings of meat, vegetarianism and the role of sweetness in the human diet.
