Despite, or rather because of, its mundane and ordinary nature, everyday foodscape offers a rich site for all the participants to engage with the world. The attentive and thoughtful experience of “doing” things, whether cooking, eating, or cleaning, promotes the awareness that things and people involved in creating foodscape are interdependent and mutually supportive through care relationships. The daily practice of “doing” things, encouraged by somaesthetics and Zen Buddhism, is particularly helpful in cultivating this awareness. Today, we need to protect a space in our lives to practice working directly with the foodscape players because opportunities for this are steadily declining in favor of convenience.
