The Sociology Of Food And Eating, Deyana Marie Pangelinan
The Sociology Of Food And Eating, Deyana Marie Pangelinan
Sociology Student Work Collection
Food is an important aspect of our lives as it is a basic human necessity and it is intriguing to see how the culture of food is influenced sociologically. For the final project, I focused on the Sociology of Food and Eating in the U.S. by discussing three different aspects which are how the food is made, distributed, and consumed. More specifically, I analyzed the politics of pesticides, how class inequality affects food distribution, and why the U.S. enjoys larger serving sizes.
