Document Summary
Chapter 13: nutri/on transi/on and the public-health crisis (aboriginal perspec/ves on food and ea/ng) The nutri/on transi/on characterizes popula0ons that have experienced growing rates of overweight, obesity, and related chronic diseases as a result of the increased consump0on of. Unhealthy foods such as those high in saturated fats, re ned sugars, and sodium. The nutri0on transi0on has, by and large, been conceptualized by nutri0onal scien0sts as an inevitable by-product of. Development that includes changing employment paaerns, technological advancements, and other associated measures of progress within a society. The nutri0on transi0on must encompass the socio- poli0cal context in which foods are eaten. A more nuanced understanding sheds light on how an individual"s food choices are oden the product of government policies and marke0ng strategies that promote processed and re ned foods to the exclusion of more tradi0onal or unprocessed foods. The nutri0on transi0on is not simply an inevitable by-product of development, nor is it simply a maaer of individual food choice.
