title: [Deterioration of social relationships at home and lack of appetite].
abstract: The search for food, the need to "eat to live", was for a long time man's main concern. But through the centuries, the meal has come to represent a moment of conviviality, exchange, social rituals and codes which go beyond the simple pleasure of satiation. Meals and the art of living therefore go hand in hand. What happens, though, as people get older and relationships wane? How can elderly people regain the desire to eat and an interest in other people?
