A thorough introduction to the sociology of food and eating, the book also acts as a primer to the discipline of sociology more generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapters start with a 'common sense' assumption about food which students frequently encounter in their own lives or in the mass media. Topics include family meals, ethnic cuisines, cooking skills and convenience foods, eating out, food waste, and 'overpackaging'. Anne Murcott shows how systematic academic research approaches can allow students to move beyond 'conventional wisdoms' to examine sociological perspectives on food and eating. Key sociological concerns such as class, gender, age, ethnicity, power and identity are also introduced, accompanied by a wide range of examples from around the globe. By the end, readers will be able to think more critically and to apply sociological approaches to questions about food and society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntroducing the Sociology of Food and Eating\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential introductory textbook for students in sociology and food studies.
