Why do we like what we eat? Who puts what on their plate and why? How does taste form and transform over the course of a life, and what is the role of the different stages of life in the socialization of nutrition? – Those are the questions for which Simon Reitmeier seeks answers. The zeitgeist of nutrition is also interrogated: is good and sustainable enjoyment a moral shift in the culture of nutrition, or just the means of distinction for a privileged elite? The book speaks not just to academics, but also those who have an interest in throwing light on the thematic matrix of nutrition, and in better understanding it.
