Abstract: A biocultural approach to nutrition emphasizes the impact of the social sciences on food intake. Purchasing, preferences and ideology are heavily influenced by social, economic, political, and cultural processes. Food consumption surveys, data collection and analysis (including types of dietary surveys), the interview, statistical methods, and reliability of methods are discussed. Time and cost factors have led to new approaches in dietary assessment such as scalogram analysis, food scores, and quality indices. Widely divergent dietary patterns of Americans are discussed by ethnic group: Puerto Ricans, Black Americans, Mexican Americans, American Indians (several tribes), and Asian Americans (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Hawaiians). Food habit modification is complex due to a rigid structure of social values that determine behavior. Nutrition/communication specialists are needed for research activities, mass media, governmental nutrition action programs and mandated nutrition education programs. Ethics of nutrition intervention are an important concern in affecting dietary changes. Each chapter is followed by a lengthy bibliography. (rkm).

Revised for the first time in ten years, the second edition of Nutritional Anthropology: Biocultural Perspectives on Food and Nutrition continues to blend biological and cultural approaches to this dynamic discipline. While this revision maintains the format and philosophy that grounded the first edition, the text has been revamped and revitalized with new and updated readings, sections, introductions, and pedagogical materials that cover current global food trade and persistent problems of hunger in equal measure. Unlike any other book on the market, Nutritional Anthropology fuses issues past and present, local and global, and biological and cultural in order to give students a comprehensive foundation in food and nutrition.

As a subject with much contemporary and cross-disciplinary relevance, Pure Food will appeal to students and academics involved in any food-related discipline, to professional practitioners promoting healthier foods and nutrition and to general readers with an interest in food.

There are not many areas that are more rooted in both the biological and social-cultural aspects of humankind than diet and nutrition. Throughout human history nutrition has been shaped by political, economic, and cultural forces, and in turn, access to food and nutrition has altered the course and direction of human societies. Using a biocultural approach, the contributors to this volume investigate the ways in which food is both an essential resource fundamental to human health and an expression of human culture and society. The chapters deal with aspects of diet and human nutrition through space and time and span prehistoric, historic, and contemporary societies spread over various geographical regions, including Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia to highlight how biology and culture are inextricably linked.
