Food is culture
Massimo Montanari, Albert Sonnenfeld (Translator)
"Food Is Culture explores the innovative premise that everything having to do with food - its capture, cultivation, preparation, and consumption - represents a cultural act. Even the "choices" made by primitive hunters and gatherers were determined by a culture of economics (availability) and medicine (digestibility and nutrition) that led to the development of specific social structures and traditions."--Jacket
