Description: Food, Morals and Meaning by John Coveney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Traces our complex relationship with food and eating and our preoccupation with diet, self-discipline and food guilt. Exploring why our appetite for food pleasures makes us feel anxious, this book is useful for those studying nutrition, public health, sociology of health and illness, and sociology of the body. Publisher Description First published in 2006. Food, Morals and Meaning examines our need to discipline our desires, our appetites and our pleasures at the table. However, instead of seeing this discipline as dominant or oppressive it argues that a rationalisation of pleasure plays a positive role in our lives, allowing us to better understand who we are. The book begins by exploring the way that concerns about food, the body and pleasure were prefigured in antiquity and then how these concerns were recast in early Christianity as problems of natural appetite which had to be curbed. The following chapters discuss how scientific knowledge about food was constructed out of philosophical and religious concerns about indulgence and excess in 18th and 19th Century Europe. Finally, by using research collected from in-depth interviews with families, the last section focuses on the social organisation of food in the modern home to illustrate the ways that the meal table now incorporates the principles of nutrition as a form of moral training, especially for children. Food, Morals and Meaning will be essential reading for those studying nutrition, public health, sociology of health and illness and sociology of the body.
