| Abstract: | This article investigates some main themes about change in consumption behaviour through an empirical exploration of the practice of eating. The article analyses patterns of food consumption in the UK using time diary data from 1975 and 2000. The article decomposes the practices of eating into four component activities: commodification and temporal fragmentation and ways of providing and consuming food. The article reveals that food consumption continues to be differentiated along established lines of social division, although the content of those divisions has changed and varies across components of practice. |
