Download or read book Changing Food Habits written by Carola Lentz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999. This book examines process of change in African, South African and European countries by analysing the ways in which food is an integral part of ongoing ecological, economic, political and social transformations. It also provides research on dietary changes from direct intervention by people and agencies. The majority of these fascinating case studies are based on original fieldwork, they are quite diverse, as are the nature and scope of changes considered. The authors discuss rural as well as urban modes of food consumption, dietary changes in different societal contexts, and food-based rituals. The cases presented suggest alterative readings of some established models of changing food habits, and contribute to a more comprehensive history of dietary transformations.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stomach contents were examined from 1,886 largemouth bass, 334 spotted bass, 1,689 bluegills, 918 green sunfish, and 579 longear sunfish from the shoreline areas of Beaver Reservoir during two of the first three years of filling. Quality and quantity of food by seasons and size is related to abundance of the principal forage. Greatest volume of food were found in winter-spring months when water level rose and inudated soils for the first time; terrestrial earthworms, insects, slugs, spiders, centipedes, sowbugs, and work snakes were major foods in these seasons, particularly for fish of 101-200 mm in total length. Except for the larger bass, fish had smallest volumes in stomachs in later fall, following the decline that began when water levels stabilized in June.
