SynopsisThe theme of this book is nutrition: the manufacture and availability of foodstuffs, and their preparation and presentation in the context of a society's social and cultural development. In a wide-ranging tour d'horizon, it investigates the complex contemporary semantic fields of foods, their production and preparation, their presentation in a commercial context, and their marketing in the media. The author also takes a critical look at the new enthusiasm for DIY food production, baking, and even livestock slaughter, and examines the »star system« way cooking is presented in the media., Where it comes to nutrition, we are daily confronted with a large number of conflicting options. The author of this book has gathered almost all of them together to make them the subject of a critical discussion. As a design specialist, he is particularly interested in the question of how attitudes to food influence our wider life, and in the ideas that lie at the root of our eating behavior. This is a book for everyone who sees »eating« as more than just the consuming of food., The theme of this book is nutrition: the manufacture and availability of foodstuffs, and their preparation and presentation in the context of a society's social and cultural development.
