Alimentos disfrazados. De la metáfora al fraude

Abstract

Every culinary elaboration supposes a transformation of meats. In several occasions the domestic or professional culinary ability has permitted to mislead foods to represent some aspects of reality. Since the rise of the World Food System of Industrial Production, the traditional proceedings of misleading foods have been moved from the kitchen to the alimentary industries and, frequently, the have been converted in technological ways of adulteration and food-fraud, until such point that —at present— expressions as “to know what we eat” are based only in the confidence that the consumer deposits in certain marks and labels.
