Indiana University offers new Anthropology of Food doctorate degree

Food is gaining currency as an area of study!  Indiana University is offering a new PhD degree in the Anthropology of Food -- practically Food Law!  Here's the description from the IU website:
Indiana University PhD Track in the Anthropology of Food

Food represents an integral part of human livelihoods, biology, identity, and culture. The practical dimensions and ramifications of food production, consumption and sharing, and the symbolic and ideological meanings attached to food, have relevance across all of anthropology’s subdisciplines – sociocultural anthropology, bioanthropology, archaeology and linguistics. As a theme it integrates aspects of all the four traditional subfields of anthropology.
