[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 192919, member: 35"] [b]Re: Is Eating Meat Associated with Masculinity and Power?[/b] ishna ji You have now made me wonder how much of our ideas about meat-eating are not shaped so much by gender (men v women) but culture in combination with cultural ideas about men and women. The Mediterranean diet is much touted today for its healthy qualities. That is the diet I was raised with. Meat is eaten in moderation. Fish (apparently also a feminine food in some zones) adds variety to the diet, and much sought after variety. Many different cheeses are included. Vegetables abound. Salads are culturally mandated. I have vivid memories of uncles munching happily on salad soaked in vinegar and oil and sprinkled with Gorgonzola cheese after everyone else had their fill. No evening dinner ended without it. Meat was there but not every night, and certainly not red meat. They brought their eating habits from the old country, from the Mediterranean. Fish and other seafoods, and lots of it, could be cooked in a half-dozen ways.[SIZE="1"] (You are really into this if you like octopus salad or the tentacles of squid stewed in tomato sauce.
