Time to start treating this less like a dumping ground for bits I have read; and more like the dumping ground for my mind (like it should be).
Also, a focus on aesthetics is required. C'mon... I'm meant to be a designer.

Men & Meat:
Sobal (2005) observes that “men and women ‘do gender’ by consuming gender-appropriate foods. Meat, and especially red meat, is an archetypical masculine food. Men often emphasize meat, and women often minimize meat, in displaying gender as individuals”
The male-meat linkage has been promoted most explicitly by Carol Adams (1991). Writing from a feminist perspective, Adams proposes that “what, or more precisely who, we eat is determined by the patriarchal politics of our culture, and that the meanings attached to meat eating include meanings
clustered around virility.”
Perception: more culinary processing increases femaleness.
If it is pretty clear what Helen Gurley Brown values in the antimony between health and indulgence, it is employed in far more contradictory ways in Playboy. On one hand, a taste for the healthy, restrained and light has been associated with middle-class food preferences which are ‘distinguished’ from the celebration of indulgence and plenty associated with working-class culture (Bourdieu, 1984). However, on the other hand, healthiness and lightness has also been associated with femininity while indulgence and heartiness is seen as more masculine. Playboy’s emphasis on indulgence, and consequent marginalization of questions of health, can be partly understood as an attempt to distance itself from associations with the ‘calorie-crazed’ woman.

Super playful experiments and artistic expression with food. This woman is incredible!

Food as identity.
The centrality of food to consumers’ emotional, physical, and psychological well-being, overlaid with a societal focus on our increasingly obesogenic environment, has given rise to a substantial body of research that explores the inherent tension in our relationships with food and food decision making.

Men & Chocolate:
"the study was delayed because it took a year for the researchers to find 11 men who don't eat chocolate.
