The document explores definitions of luxury foods and how they are used to mark social distinction. Luxury foods offer refinement in qualities like taste or fat content and distinction through quantity or quality. In less stratified societies, luxury foods emphasize quantity while more stratified societies emphasize quality and exclusivity.
