Abstract

Roland Barthes knew that what we eat is more than merely biological sustenance for our bodies. An edible object can be something that, in Barthes’s words, “society has endowed with a signifying power”. Food, in short, has meanings—it signifies as it satiates. We stuff our mouths in order to satisfy a basic biological need, yes, but at the same time we are consuming the values that culture has baked into what fills our stomachs.
