This makes me think of Demons Don’t Dream, but the other details don’t match my memory of that book.

You can’t fall back on “both have been doing this for decades” and then say “who started this latest mess” in the same argument.

People can see your post history and it doesn’t paint the picture of someone interested in liberation or community. Maybe do some self reflection before bandying platitudes around?

Yes exactly, especially so with food that is more intrinsically communal, things like paella, seafood boils in general, stews etc. something about each dish being exactly the same instead of a portion of a whole is degrading to culture. C’est ne pas un repas or something like that.

The retreat of communal dining in some ways is a zooification of humanity, each of us in our little enclosures eating pellets.

By extension the dinner table is a cultural ecotone, something I’ve been trying to think better about.

I agree. In many ways food IS culture, a primary ritual shaped by all the things you mentioned and more.

I was thinking this too, culture shapes human bodies across a population due to many things ie harms caused by certain types of work, patriarchy and other oppressive schemes. So there is definitely interplay between the categories.
