Commensality and responsive food consumption behavior in community based canteen

Abstract

The present study aims to recognize the commensality phenomena and the role of empathy in emerging ethical food consumption behavior at a social level.  The study applied qualitative research using an ethnographic method to construct situational and emotional factors of commensality as food consumption behavior in the social meal context. Finding demonstrates that social context influence eating behavior of individual through empathy. It explores a segmented social practice concerning a different viewpoint of food consumption and preference. It is a more theoretical contribution to the sociology of food as a social practice. Additionally, we define responsive eating behavior in conjunction with belief matching.
