Abstract
Palauan foodways have changed significantly over the last 100 years. Current nutritional norms in Palau have led to increased prevalence of nutrition-based noncommunicable disease. While generational change in Palauan foodways in the decades immediately following World War II has been documented, less attention has been paid to change since national independence. Parents, teachers, and students at Palauan elementary schools participated in focus groups designed to advance understanding of the current state of Palauan nutrition across generations at home, school, and elsewhere (including after-school snacks and ritual events). We document these perspectives and share Palauan ideas for improving local nutrition.
期刊介绍:
Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
