From the anthropological point of view, eating means to ingest qualities, but also defects. Digestion is a double process, encompassing both assimilation and distribution through transformation. This book is based on the contributions of specialists in various fields of activity, including anthropology, medicine, cultural studies, archaeology, theatre, linguistics, who explore how we understand the cultural heritage of food, and how this defines the stratification of society. Providing insights into the compatibility and incompatibility of physical and cultural food, this book offers a higher level of understanding of the world in which we live.
