Answer:

D. cultural relativism

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural relativism is the idea that each person’s own values, practices, and habits are conditioned by their culture and social upright. Every culture has different things it prefers and things of as taboo, and each person takes something of the culture as their own while living in it.

As such, every person has to be seen as a product of their own culture and be the judge in accordance with it. Only by understanding one’s cultural context can we fully understand their ideas, values, beliefs, and habits, as well as their actions.

The same can go for the products of the culture – they will seem closer to us if we understand culture fully.

By this idea and this host, food, as a product of certain culture and people, should be prepared and judged only in the frame of its own culture of origin.
