Participants will explore some of the compelling mysteries behind eating and making food, such as:
- What does your peanut butter say about your social background?
- What's the point of more than one fork in a table setting?
- Why was grandma probably a better cook than mom and a much better cook than dad?
- What are freegans and vegans and wild foodies and raw foodies and locavores and permaculturists and ...?
- Why do all bananas seem to come from the same place?
- What is organic and fair trade and free range and slow food anyway?
And more!
The class will link these mysteries through a bird's eye exploration of core aspects of sociological theory, trying to shed some light on this most basic act of daily life.
