INTE 398 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Mastication, Bioavailability
Document Summary
Sustainability of our diets through hedgehog perspective (ipat impact on the land is a consequence of population growth, affluence and technology) Sustainable food guide for the canadian population. Mastication: to increase the bioavailability of energy-yielding nutrients. Cooking creates a much larger environmental impact. Agricultural will always have an impact on land. Mineral riche salts get literally mined by plant roots. Diminished returns after a few crop rotations = inevitable. As affluence increased meat + sugar consumption increased. Technology (nitrogen gas) harmful to the environment. Methods of production, transport even prep = has an impact.
