How can people say they are hungry when they have enough food at their disposal? On the Indonesian island of Siberut, the term 'hungry' does not just refer to the lack of food, but above all the absence of social contacts to use a meal. Sharing food during rituals is more satisfying than the nutritional value of the food itself. That is the conclusion of Darmanto Darmanto in his Ph.D. research "Good to Produce, Good to Share: Food, Hunger and Social Values in a Contemporary Mentawaise Community." Darmanto defended his dissertation successfully on the 26th of November 2020.
