Document Summary
One of the privileges to real life is to have access to good food this is a luxury we can afford. People were able to experience the joy of transformation from taking the raw material and converting it into a dish they could truly enjoy. Levy strauss wrote book the raw and the cook , about semiotics of food . Refers to the roll of functions and symbols. Food makes us understand a lot about the world we live in. They control our lives and we live by them, they are everywhere. Symbols have always been critical literal or figurative. Subline moment of cooking is when nature becomes culture it is exactly what cooking really is nature is transformed from culture, when the raw gets cooked. Difference between humans and animals is that humans cook, humans are the cooking animals, humans don"t share that quality with other animals. Cooking is a practice, a human invention that our ancestors learned.
