Food Anthropology: Sustainable student health and wellbeing
- Image via Wikipedia
Sustainability and Food Anthropology sounded too interesting to pass up a read over. Students are notorious for not eating properly so perhaps the upcoming health and welling posts can help to change that.
Culinary Distractions is hosted by Carole, who also writes Slow Food
Focusing on the Mythologies of food, Carole shares her journey to other cultures and times to show the many ways food can be used for meaning making.
Her research question is pretty straight forward: Why? Why do social groups eat what they do, prepare food as they do, eat in the manner that they do etc… Food is deeply personal and inherently cultural. So methinks I will enjoy learning more on this topic…
