In summary, the role of food in the dystopian genre has progressively expanded since the form was first introduced. Earlier works such as We barely touch on the topic of food, only using the act of eating as a tool to reinforce the basic tropes of the dystopia such as censorship. Over the years writers have engaged more appropriately with the food in a nightmare world, making it a more complex, independent theme. Mainly, food has evolved as an outlet to introduce increased conflict between the civilians of the created society, often helping to indicate advanced societal and political issues while also establishing the effects of the wars which caused the dystopian world's existence. Even within the fantasy genre, dystopian elements are now implemented and food is used as a means to emphasise the formation of societal class.
