The sacrifice of re-use: the travels of leftovers and family relations
Abstract
This paper focuses on food divestment practices surrounding the consumption of food leftovers in a domestic context. It argues that divestment practices of consuming food leftovers are not the last and disconnected point of a linear consumption process; rather they influence previous and subsequent consumption practices. Drawing on research among middle class British families it shows that consuming leftovers implies a set of practices, (classifying, selecting, storing and re‐using) which transform leftovers from polluted to clean food re‐admissible to the table. Leftovers' consumption has analogies with the process of sacrifice. It is an everyday thrift practice through which consumers produce excess value to be designated for extraordinary food consumption wherein the family as a whole entity is celebrated. Consuming leftovers requires a high degree of admission to the family and thus only family members, and some of them more than others, are called to such a sacrifice. Therefore it is not only during extraordinary food consumption that familial bonds are reinforced, rather is also during the everyday practice of consuming leftovers that familial bonds are sustained and perpetuated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
