Highlighting the social and cultural dimensions of the human food system, from production to consumption, it encourages us to consider new ways of thinking about the apparently mundane, everyday act of eating. The main areas covered include: \u003cbr\u003e* The origins of human subsistence and the development of the modern food system\u003cbr\u003e* Food, the family and eating out\u003cbr\u003e* Diet, health and the body image\u003cbr\u003e* The meanings of meat and vegetarianism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSociology on the Menu\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive overview of the literature, particularly helpful in this interdisciplinary field. It focuses on key texts and studies to help students identify major concerns and themes for further study. It urges us to re-appraise the taken for granted and familiar experiences of selecting, preparing and sharing food and to see our own habits and choices, preferences and aversions in their broader cultural context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Beardsworth is Lecturer in Sociology., Teresa Keil is Visiting Fellow, both in the Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.12 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 1996\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42186870128720,"sku":"9780415114257","price":122.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/Q0VOUGJ2OGpyM1NiMUNZaWVlUU5Zdz09.webp?v=1774738229","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/sociology-on-the-menu-an-invitation-to-the-study-of-food-and-society-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
