| Summary |
"This book addresses current controversial debates about food quality. What is it that makes people decide that food is of good, or, alternatively, of dubious 'quality'? How food is produced, how it is prepared, how it tastes and in what circumstances it is consumed are all dimensions of its quality." "Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics."--BOOK JACKET |
