Food is not merely a means of nutrition; it is a cornerstone of our existence, a fundamental aspect of daily life that goes beyond biological necessity (Paddock et al., 2017; Warde, 2018). The act of eating, especially in the context of a social meal, represents more than the consumption of nutrients; it is a communal and cultural experience (Fischler, 2011; Warde, 2018). Eating can be an act of celebration, a manifestation of togetherness, and a means of sharing a meal with others (Fischler, 2011).

摘要

Food is not merely a means of nutrition; it is a cornerstone of our existence, a fundamental aspect of daily life that goes beyond biological necessity (Paddock et al., 2017; Warde, 2018). The act of eating, especially in the context of a social meal, represents more than the consumption of nutrients; it is a communal and cultural experience (Fischler, 2011; Warde, 2018). Eating can be an act of celebration, a manifestation of togetherness, and a means of sharing a meal with others (Fischler, 2011).
