...January 27,2014 The Unprocessed Life A source of much debate over the past few decades has been the question of how much of a populations chronic disease occurrence is related to the consumption of processed foods. Both genders, all ethnicities and all ages are affected by this topic. Business is at the heart of many of the studies, unfortunately, so finding unbiased scientific information can be challenging. Even with the vast improvements in technology, processed foods and the effects of it on human health remains a strongly debated topic. For the reader who wants to make the most informed decision, it becomes imperative to consider a broad dietary historical perspective of human diet-related health, as well as the most reliable sources of research conducted in recent centuries. The pathway to our current life-less dietary habits and our societies flawed impression of life-giving foods plays a great part in understanding why the messages we are fed on a daily basis, give a false sense of comfort related to food sources. Then once the reader has the why we have this problem the task becomes to search out the how to make necessary changes. Can you imagine only having access to food sources that were within walking distance of your home and only grew naturally in the countryside? Most of us would not last long if we couldn’t make a short trip to the grocery store when we are hungry, but early mankind did not have this luxury. Some who study the effects of diet on human...

...Food habits and their origins All people have their likes and dislikes and their beliefs about food, and many people are conservative in their food habits. They tend to like what their mothers cooked for them when they were young, the foods that are served on festive occasions or those eaten with friends and family away from home during their childhood. The foods that adults ate without a second thought in childhood are seldom totally disagreeable to them in later life. What one society regards as normal or even highly desirable, however, another society may consider revolting or totally inedible. Animal milk is commonly consumed and liked by many people in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, but in China it is rarely taken. Lobsters, crabs and shrimps are considered delicacies and prized foods by many people in Europe and North America, but are revolting to many people in Africa and Asia, especially those who live far from the sea. The French eat horse meat; the English generally do not. Many people will delightedly consume the flesh of monkeys, snakes, dogs and rats or will eat certain insects, yet many others find these foods most unappealing. Religion may have an important role in forbidding the consumption of certain foods. For example, neither the Muslim nor the Jewish peoples consume pork, and Hindus do not eat beef and are frequently vegetarians. Food habits differ most widely in regard to which foods of animal origin are liked, disliked, eaten or not eaten in a...

...PRACTICAL - 2 AIM: To explore the food culture in Old Delhi and New Delhi OBJECTIVES: 1. To understand food culture in Old Delhi and New Delhi. 2. To gauge similarities and differences in Old Delhi and New Delhi. 3. To study the impact of globalization on food culture in Delhi. INTRODUCTION A composite view of culture posit that the core of a culture consists in the shared assumptions, beliefs and values that the people of a geographical area acquire over generations. Assumptions, beliefs, values and norms are intermeshed and mutually interactive; they constitute the directional force behind human behaviour, which creates physical artefacts, social institutions, cultural symbols, rituals and myths. The latter in turn reinforce people's beliefs, norms and value systems and thereby enable the society of which they are part, to maintain cultural continuity (Sinha 2004). An essential feature of a culture is that its basic assumptions, beliefs and values are historically derived, traditional worldviews, transmitted from generation to generation. These temporal sociocultural links signify the distinctive achievements of a human group, thereby enabling them. to condition their future actions (Kroeber and Kluckhohn 1951: 181). By implication, culture is adaptive and changing – changing more rapidly and radically at its outer layers – artefacts, institutions and patterns of behaviours – than at its core which is primordial. Major changes in environment compel people to...

While people with the BMI between 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 are characterized as overweight (WHO, 2016). According to WHO, over the past 30 years mean the three decades, obesity occurrences have doubled up with the total amount of 1.4 billion people are overweight and 500 million obese worldwide (Bank of America Merril Lynch, 2012). With an estimation, the incidence of obesity will reach 50-60% of the population are obese in many countries by the year 2030. From National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS, 2011), the obese adult with aged 18 and above, has accounted 27.2% which equal to 4.4 million. Contradiction to the conventional wisdom, the epidemic obesity has threatened not only developed but developing country, which the obesity-related illness have marked approximately 115 million (WHO, 2016). Obesity increases risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart diseases, high blood pressure, cancer and sleeping apnea (National Institutes of Health (NIH), 2012). Obesity has ranked as the fifth global leading death (Al-Rethaiaa, Fahmy & Al-Shwaiyat, 2010). In addition, a report about Globesity done by Bank of America Merril Lynch (2012) stated the number of adult death is reported with minimum 2.8 million per year is contributed by obesity which need extra 40% of total health care cost than normal people.

...to 24% of Australian school age children are overweight or obese.2 Whilst researching this issue I came across Bowen Athletics Club who investigated the influence of improving food choices in their canteen had on their members. Many of their strategies incorporated initiatives that had been tabled within the Eat Well Queensland project, which looked at Social Determinants of health, productivity and cooperation from local and state governments and non-government agencies. I will then conclude that based on evidenced sourced that the actions and strategies that the Bowen Athletics Club used seemed sufficient enough in changing attitudes and behaviours of it’s members. Obesity is caused by an increase in body fat by inappropriate eating habits or a decrease in energy output and can also be a combination of both of these factors.3,4 Some aspects that may play a major role in the development and control of obesity include genetics, eating patterns, family, environmental, demographic, parental guidance, media influence on children such as TV viewing, physical activity and healthy...

...these debates is the question of cetacean intelligence this refers to the Cetacea order of mammals, which includes whales, porpoises, and dolphins; and the level of suffering which the animals undergo when caught and killed (The Whale Debate: Whale Wars, 2014). Another hot topic in the debate right now is the right to kill a certain amount of whales for scientific research, Japan kills 1000 minke whales a year and about 100 endangered fin and humpback whales. Whales are mammals the same as we are and they are intelligent and have feelings such as pain and a sense of loss. Before I get into my opinion I will list the pros and cons of this particular activity. There are a few of each so I will start with the reasons for whaling, many indigenous people, such as the Inuit’s of Alaska, rely on whales for food and other materials to survive in such harsh environments and they are...

...Religious Politics in India There are one billion people in India, the second most populous country in the world. This means every sixth person in the world is an Indian. About 450 million Indians live below the poverty line. Suppression of religious minorities and its nuclear blasts have made India visible to the world. One of the messages that India sent to the world was that it needs to be reckoned with. The Hindu nationalist leadership on the whole sent this message. While each country needs dignity before others, many ask why such a poverty-ridden country should invest massive amounts in nuclear devices and why it persecutes a Christian religious minority that has made bold attempts to empower the poor of India. Religious Landscape in India Of the one billion people in India, 85 percent are Hindus, 10 percent Muslims, and 2.5 percent Christians. The rest belong to other religious minorities: Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsees and other groups. Though the decennial census classifies 85 percent as Hindus, there is no positive definition of what Hinduism is. Negatively, whoever does not belong to any of the other religious minorities is taken to be a Hindu. British discourse shaped the terminology used in reference to Hinduism. The British in India began by asking the Indians: "Our religion is called Christianity, what is yours?" It was then decided to call India’s religion Hinduism. The British asked, "We have the Bible as our scripture, what is your scripture?" It was...

Examples of such a change can be predicted from: C) the growing number of McDonald's restaurants globally. 6) American Nancy McKinstry recently became the new CEO at Dutch publisher Wolters Kluwer. As Ms. McKinstry noted, she had to drop the word "aggressive" in describing her strategic plan to company managers. She said, "I learned that the word has a negative connotation to a lot of Europeans. I was coming across too hard, too much of a results-driven American to the people. I needed to get on board so I started describing our strategy as 'decisive' and that made all the...

...Communicating About Food in Today's Diverse World -Have you ever needed to communicate ideas about food and nutrition to a family with a culture very different from your own? -Do you find yourself teaching people from an assortment of backgrounds --people who have important, lasting ties to their own cultures? -Are you called upon to provide guidance to people who have recently joined the community, for whom everything -- language, living accommodations, and economic status -- is new and different? Nutrition educators face challenges like these more and more every day. In a multicultural world, opportunities abound for knowledge to be shared among educators, families, and communities. This begins with understanding the many ways in which seemingly different cultures are alike, including foods eaten, occasions celebrated, and traditions followed. It also involves fostering respect for the great variety in cultures and developing an appreciation for what makes people different. Above all, it means celebrating diversity -- in nutrition, as in so many other aspects of life. Our Nation's Changing Culture There's no doubt about it -- the face of our nation is changing. The population of the United States is diverse, and this racial and ethnic diversity is growing rapidly. In fact, according to the 1990 census, almost one in four Americans has African, Asian, Hispanic, or American Indian ancestry. That figure is projected to rise to almost one in three by the year 2020 and almost...
