Its main purpose is to illustrate the theme of nutrition as a bioculture issue showing that while all people have to eat to live, what they eat is largely determined by cultural influences. This book is intended as a text for students of nutrition, dietetics and related health disciplines such as medicine, nursing and health education. It should also be of interest to social science students. After an initial chapter which explores the concept of cultural shaping of food choice, subsequent chapters address food ideology, cuisine, social uses of food, gender issues, religion, ethics, myths, taboos and superstitions and mass feeding. Each chapter is followed by discussion questions for students and suggestions for further reading, as well as an extensive bibliography.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607839744273,"sku":"GOR004567823","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51912234533137,"sku":"GOR003098034","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0412581108.jpg?v=1750696883"},{"product_id":"food-and-nutrition-book-paul-fieldhouse-9781565933392","title":"Food and Nutrition","description":"As someone who was trained in the clinical sdentific tradition it took me several years to start to appreciate that food was more than a collection of nutrients, and that most people did not make their choices of what to eat on the biologically rational basis of nutritional composition. This realiza- tion helped tobring me to an understanding of why people didn't always eat what (I believed) was good for them, and why the patients I had seen in hospital as often as not had failed to follow the dietary advice I had so confidently given. When I entered the field of health education I quickly discovered the farnaus World Health Organization definition of health as being a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease. Health was a triangle -and I had been guilty of virtu- ally ignoring two sides of that triangle. As I became involved in practical nutrition education initiatives the deficiencies of an approach based on giving information about nutrition and physical health became more and more apparent. The children whom I saw in schools knew exactly what to say when asked to describe a nutritious diet: they could recite the food guide and list rich sources of vitamins and minerals; but none of this intellectual knowledge was reflected in their own actual eating habits.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51142510248209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51142512836881,"sku":"NIN9781565933392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52660183957777,"sku":"NLS9781565933392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1565933397.jpg?v=1750894709"},{"product_id":"food-feasts-and-faith-book-paul-fieldhouse-9781610694117","title":"Food, Feasts, and Faith","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn indispensable resource for exploring food and faith, this two-volume set offers information on food-related religious beliefs, customs, and practices from around the world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy do Catholics eat fish on Fridays?
