Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 68-72.<br>Traditional wild or weedy leafy green vegetables are an important food source in many parts of Africa, and there have been several recent calls across the continent for interventions promoting the use of these resources for their nutritional values. In South Africa relatively little research attention has been paid to traditional vegetables, known in Zulu as imifino. However it is widely thought that these plants are falling into disuse as food preferences change and exotic vegetables such as spinach or cabbage become more commonly available. This report aims to

Abstract:

The moral coloring of eating behavior in the contemporary U.S. reflects the value placed on taking charge of one's health through diet, exercise, and self-control. At the same moment that health promotion efforts focus on individual responsibility, the population is experiencing time famine, or a chronic shortage of time that does not allow people to live as they think they should. In this context, health behaviors such as exercise and a health-balanced diet may be compromised. Vitamin consumption is one way that individuals maintain a moral identity in the face of time pressure. Drawing on tw

The primary aim of this study is to decipher whether villagers’ ‘proximity to road’ is the strongest predictor of the aforementioned health outcomes, or whether other sociocultural and economic variables play a more significant role.

Abstract:

The goal of this dissertation is to discuss relationships between the sociocultural environment and nutritional status outcomes in an urban industrialized city with high rates of poverty.

To accomplish this goal, I examine a range of factors that relate to adolescent nutritional practices and nutritional status outcomes in a sample population of adolescents living in Belfast, Norther

Following rapid economic growth in the 1980s and subsequent rising urbanization in the 1990s, urban centers of India have undergone a “nutrition and lifestyle transformation” regarding dietary choices, cooking methods, food accessibility, and average daily activity level.

With an estimated 71.4 million people living with diabetes, India represents the largest diabetes population worldwide—and numbers are expected to continue growing.

Abstract:

All human societies process their food extensively by thermal and non-thermal means. This feature distinguishes us from other species, and may even be compulsory given that humans are biologically committed to an energy-rich diet that is easy to chew and digest. Yet the energetic consequences of food processing remain largely unknown. This dissertation tests the fundamental hypothesis that thermal and non-thermal processing lead to biologically relevant increases in energy gain from protein-rich meat and starch-rich tubers, two major caloric resources for modern and ancestral humans that prese

The food an infant is fed can reflect many things: a source of nutrition, the social and cultural circumstances into which an infant is born, or even a family’s beliefs about the body and breast milk as a source of nutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding, currently the gold standard for infant feeding in the United States (US), is often identified as an expectation in discourses on being a “good mother.” African American mothers in particular are the least likely group in the US to breastfeed in any capacity and many efforts are underway to increase the breastfeeding rates of this population.

This thesis is about food practices and change among Mexican migrants living in West Queens, New York City. Public health research suggests that Mexican migration to the US has a negative impact on food practices, with diets being less nutritious over a migrant’s stay in the United States and obesity being more common among longer-term than more recently-arrived individuals. Through ethnography, I explore how migration shapes food practices and examine the nuanced process of nutritional change that is often obscured in large-scale epidemiological studies.

Abstract:

Many early anthropological studies treated pastoralist populations as egalitarian, however there is considerable variation in the resources available to individual households. This thesis considers how resources influence the subsistence system of the pastoral Datoga of Lake Eyasi. The two categories of resources considered are wealth and labour. The labour available to Datoga households does not influence the herding strategies of those households. In turn, the herding strategies do not affect the dynamics of cattle herds. This is because households that are short of labour can arrange for th

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the history of humanitarian nutrition and its political implications. Drawing on aid agency archives and other historical sources, it examines how food has been delivered in emergencies, from the First World War to the present day. The approach is ethnographic: this is a study of the micro-level practices of relief, examining the objects distributed, the plans made, the techniques used. It is also historical: examining how such practices have changed over time. This thesis makes five interlocking arguments. First, I make a political point: that humanitarian action is alway

Abstract:

La transition protéique correspond au processus de substitution entre protéines impliqué dans le cycle de la transition nutritionnelle, résultant de la transformation des normes et valeurs attachées aux aliments qui les fournissent. En Inde, la part relative des protéines ne s’inverse pas au profit des protéines animales dont l’augmentation se fait principalement par des aliments non carnés. Grâce à une enquête qualitative à Delhi et quantitative à Vadodara, la thèse démêle les déterminants aux décisions alimentaires concernant un portefeuille d’aliments protéiques d’origine animale, et leurs

Abstract:

Ce travail, basé sur une démarche méthodologique réconciliatrice entre techniques quantitatives et qualitatives opposées alors qu'elles sont plutôt complémentaires, prouve que la plupart des théories issues du cadre ethnologique résistent bien à la confrontation à une population large et hétérogène. Genre, religion, classe sociale, distance par rapport aux animaux expliquent en partie les choix de consommation et de circuits d'approvisionnement en viande. L'idéologie des sujets influe également sur les attitudes vis-à-vis de la viande. Mais le principal moteur de la fréquence de consommation d

Abstract:

Observer les modèles alimentaires et les modes de consommation permet d’apercevoir une série de phénomènes tels que les changements sociaux apportés par le dynamisme économique à l’échelle du Brésil. Les recherches menées dans la réserve de Ciriaco visent à établir un profil alimentaire pour comprendre le poids des choix effectués par les habitants et leur origine. Etablir un profil global permet également de mesurer l’impact des choix alimentaires sur la vie quotidienne et de s’emparer du phénomène de transition alimentaire. La monétarisation de l’alimentation, l’éducation carencée ainsi que
