Sources/ Scholarly Articles

The links between food and morality reach back to antiquity, and center on the fact that the pleasure taken from food consumption challenges ideals of bodily self-control in a way that is paralleled only by sex (Coveney 2000: vii, Probyn 2000). In western society, where bodily appetites and desires were (and still are) to be controlled and suppressed (Foucault 1990), food consumption can generate significant anxiety, guilt and shame, and it is also the basis for a variety of moral judgments made about others.
