Abstract

[The work explores the role of food as a fundamental tool to create social identity and to change society itself too. Nutrition is a fundamental process for existence, not only because it would be impossible to survive without eating, but also because this need is linked to particular moods, to the sense of taste, and to the very consciousness of living. Food is linked to living together, to working together. It acquires strong symbolic and social values because food, meals, habits, and eating styles are essentially social facts. The work will explore how, in history, food can be analyzed as an organic cultural whole. Foods are therefore at the basis of the construction of social groups in terms in which all foods become identity messages. The new emerging criticalities show how food is part of both the problem and the possible resolution.]
