Abstract
In Letters 90 and 95 Seneca resorts to the imagery of human metabolism (mastication and digestion) in describing both in the dawn of bakery and its degeneration into sophisticated cookery. In this way Seneca confirm his opinion about technologies: they are doomed to perpetual corruption, because they have arisen from an useless and perverse imitatio nature.
