This text uses food as a case study of consumption and the expression of taste, providing a structural analysis of changes and continuities in the representation and purchase of food. It outlines theories of change in the 20th century and considers the parallels between their diagnoses of consumer behaviour and actual trends in food practices. The book argues that various dilemmas of the modern predicament and certain imperatives of the culture of consumption make sense of food selection. It also suggests that contemporary consumption is best viewed as a process of continual selection among an unprecedented range of generally accessible terms.
