Le mangeur-ocha is the website of the CNIEL Observatory of Eating Habits (OCHA).
It offers resources on food, cultures and eating behaviors in relation to identities, health and lifestyles.
Themes
On-line texts or a selection of books, ways of thinking and eating, OCHA explores the relationship we have with our food. A multi-disciplinary approach to understanding both the eternal eater and the contemporary eater from here and elsewhere.
All in an aesthetically pleasing, well-written site.
