(cf. Star 1999, Ethnography of Infrastructure)

=Traditional foods (such as fermented or salt cured ones like salted fish)
=Traditional gathering (foraging, farming, hunting, storage, preserving)
=Regional specialties (such as Västerbotten cheese or local beers or wines)
=Religious preferences or taboos (pork or seafood for some religions)
=racial, gender, class, cultural, national norms (what counts as breakfast for example or even what counts as food, say insects, as well as who prepares it, how much one eats and in what conditions)
=labor conditions (farmer workers, gleaning, tipping and service, transportation)
=waste (compost, garbage, recycling, disposal, dumps, landfills; people living in and by waste; scavenging; waste becomes food for animals as chickens eat chickens or products designed to use corn waste as in high fructose corn syrup)
=food fairness and justice: issues of power (who controls food access, management, distribution, production; environmental racism and food deserts; global agro-business)
=economic histories, trade, colonialisms (sugar, potatoes, tomatoes, coffee, chocolate)
=food shed: global climate issues and north/south disparities (what is available where and when, what footprint moving food around has, water use)
=microbiome and mood; neurological effects, absorption disorders (depression, cognition; lead in water or arsenic in rice; Crone's, celiac)
=venues of eating and preparation (gender disparities, cooking conditions and tools, power and water, smoke, soot, ash)
=design a meal: Chipotle's base, filling, wow, examples (food pyramids, nutritional charts, recipes, food online, menus, meal plans, diets)
=Body conditions such as allergy, disease, health, exertion, climate responses, healing (diabetes 2 necessitates carb counting)
=Personal histories (experiences with foods, trauma, phobias, eating disorders)
=Political commitments (vegetarian in various forms, vegan, organic, local production)
=Personal preference or dislikes
