Kontrola życia poprzez jedzenie na przykładzie dobrowolnej prostoty
Life control through eating on the example of voluntary simplicity

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the attitudes towards eating of people who define themselves as proponents of voluntary simplicity, as well as the discourses that justify these attitudes. The article comprises three parts. In the first part, I consider in general the role and status of food and eating in the intentional life simplification whereas in the second part I analyse practices of conscious eating. In the third part I discuss strategies for counteracting food waste. The context of the argument is the desire to regain a sense of agency and control over one’s own life, particularly in situations of uncertainty and instability experienced. The research material is blog entries and fragments of books on the simple life.
