Warum wir mögen, was wir essen - Eine Studie zur Sozialisation der Ernährung

Why do we like what we eat? Who puts what on their plate and why? How does taste form and transform over the course of a life, and what is the role of the different stages of life in the socialization of nutrition? - Those are the questions for which Simon Reitmeier seeks answers. The zeitgeist of nutrition is also interrogated: is good and sustainable enjoyment a moral shift in the culture of nutrition, or just the means of distinction for a privileged elite? The book speaks not just to academics, but also those who have an interest in throwing light on the thematic matrix of nutrition, and in better understanding it.

Simon Reitmeier (Dr. phil.) hat Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft und Neueste Geschichte an den Universitäten Augsburg und Granada studiert. Er ist seit 2008 Mitglied der Slow Food Arche-Kommission Deutschland. Seit Anfang 2013 arbeitet er für den Cluster Ernährung am Kompetenzzentrum für Ernährung (KErn) in Kulmbach.
