Food means a lot of thing :
– everyday life (shopping, cooking)
– health since I really care about what I eat and how I prepare it,
– ethic and lots of thoughts and debates around what kind of natural elements we can consider our food
– environment, definitely, since our food consumption is connected to many crucial ecological issues
– pleasure, also definitely (!), family, friends, lots of nice moments shared
– when food is self-cooked or even self-produced : creativity and empowerment, automony, solidarity…
– often an issue of concern or even anxiety, in a society where lots of things are complex, and where there is uncertainty (about what you eat and what it does to you) ; but also in a society where body/shape standards are pervasive.
