"Food ideology is the sum of the attitudes, beliefs, customs and taboos affecting the diet of a group. It is what people think of as food..." (Rappaport, 2003).

"When we eat, we eat meanings and symbols. Meanings are not inherent to the food, we ourselves apply the meaning" (Santich, 2007).

Today I ate a "when the hell am I going to get my work permit so I won't have to worry about money", an "if you guys are panicked about an 800 word essay how in the world do you think you're going to do your dissertation", and a "shut up bitch you're just not that funny."

I feel very nourished.
