CHESNOV, Y.V. EXISTENTIALS: FEEDING

Abstract: Humanity is concerned about daily bread. This initial anxiety for food sounds in the prayer and hides in barely conscious actions of a woman stuffing her fridge with a bit more food than her family actually needs. Why do people tend to overeat than to eat less? It is a difficult question. C. Levi-Strauss has carried out a great research viewing the problem of food in a very objective and “structural” light. However, his work “Origin of eating traditions” did not answer the question and the problem was not just the “wrong” method of Levi-Strauss.
