We have encountered the concept that “food is more than sustenance” multiple times
in multiple ways in our readings this quarter.
a). Explain what this concept means to you. Compare and contrast three instances
(drawn from the readings, you may supplement with material from lectures) in which it
has become clear that the social and/or physiological role of food goes beyond its
component calories, macronutrient content or vitamin and mineral micronutrients.
b). Explain why, exactly, food is more than sustenance in these cases.
c). Does thinking about food differently (as more than its component nutrients) make a
practical difference to the relevant policy decisions, health recommendations, food
choices, food justice approaches, or food science in these cases? (750 words or less)
