Foods' Meaningful Cultural Loads

Sinan Caya

Nourishment is essential for life from a biological viewpoint; but the food one takes in is not devoted to that purpose, alone. A certain kind of food or the circumstances surrounding the eatery of a certain sort of food or habits of feeding oneself; often convey a lot of hidden transcript, or connotations; which are indeed based on deeply-rooted historical and cultural understandings and practices pertaining to a given human society.
