Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book is a true masterpiece which explains the social factors that shape the food expenditure of low-income households - specifically those of shoemakers. Indeed, faced with the precarious nature of these households' lives, the rising costs of goods and services, the monetisation of foodstuffs and insufficient income; household members adopt new dietary behaviours, behaviours which lead them to consume food as much for its symbolic value as for its nutritional value. Thus, by reading this book, anyone wishing to understand why people today have preferences for certain food products will discover the social meanings, or indeed the social logic, that guide this social group in their food expenditure.
