Mad og måltider har en lang række sociale og kulturelle betydninger i menneskers liv. Denne bog fortæller om måltiders rolle for vore sociale fællesskaber, fx i familien, om de normer og symboler, der knytter sig til mad og som forbinder den med vores identitet og om hvordan kroppens behov og funktioner håndteres i hverdagens rytmer. Den fortæller også om sammenstød mellem madkultur, sundhed og miljøhensyn, om rådgivning om sunde kostvaner og om hvad mad og måltider betyder for mennesker i institutioner som hospitaler, plejehjem, skoler og daginstitutioner til børn.
