Why are foodways important? 

Foodways is the study of what people eat and why.  Why we procure, prepare and serve the food we do has cultural, sociological, geographical, financial and political influences.

Why is recognition of diverse foodways valuable? 

Preserving our past and present for the future by research, documentation and oral histories.  It is culinary anthropology on the hoof, paw, root and leaf.
