Harper (Creighton U.) and Le Beau (U. of Missouri-Kansas City) write for readers who find the perspectives of the humanities and social sciences on food issues fascinating because they relate to universal and basic concerns, and for academics for whom food issues are important because they relate to other human concerns.
