Eating is generally understood as a human need that people satisfy in diverse ways. Eating, however, is also an English word. Other languages, using other words, order reality differently: they may fuse eating with breathing, or distinguish chupar from comer. Annemarie Mol and her coauthors exemplify this in a series of material semiotic inquiries into eating practices.
