Myths & taboos
Our diets, from one culture to the next, say a lot about who we are. Beliefs vary on what is good to eat and what is bad. Some are personal preferences, while most are culturally determined. Our food myths and taboos are powerful, persistent and ever-changing.

- "Discusses why beliefs vary on what is good and what is bad to eat. Food taboos tell us much about society, and they change only as quickly as society does. War and famine, which change societies drastically, are perhaps the strongest motivators for change in which foods are considered acceptable to eat. Why do we prefer sweet to bitter foods? Why do we find certain foods repellant? The reaction of disgust toward a particular food is based on our knowledge of where it came from and what it is made of. Certain foods are also considered appropriate for certain demographic groups. In one African tribe, the meat of lions and leopards is reserved for old people, while hyena and donkey are always prohibited. And as for the Middle Eastern ban on pork, anthropologists are still trying to figure it out! (Three reasons are suggested.) Throughout the world, there are thousands of dietary rules, many of them mandated by the local religion."@en
