Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between food and culture, also known as the art and science of good eating. The term gastronomy can also be used to show the role of food in society, culture, politics, the environment, and economics. The need for food is universal, and the desire for basic necessities has been known to play a significant role in the shaping of geopolitical events. People also eat for pleasure, so food can have profound psychological effects on those who consume it. Food and the preparation techniques used to cook it reflect the living conditions of the people who eat it. Differing preferences have long been a source of prejudice because what people eat and why they eat it is often a reflection of their social class. These preferences are based on factors such as availability, politics, religion, seasons/climate, socioeconomic status, and technology.
