The Making of the Modern British Diet (Routledge Library Editions: Food and Diet)
By Derek Miller, Derek Oddy. 1976
Food is the physiological basis of man’s existence but is also an expression of a society’s culture and may play…
many roles other than physiological in terms of both personal and group relationships. Originally published in 1976, The Making of the Modern British Diet focusses on the role of food during industrialisation and urbanisation in Britain.Part One contains a series of commodity studies covering bread, cereals, biscuits, meat, milk, tea and cocoa which reflect trends in the supply of some of the foods in the British diet during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The emphasis in Part Two is predominantly on consumption, either through the study of living standards or consumer preference or through the presentation of food and the organisation of its outlets to the consumer. Part Three provides a nutritional evaluation which is an entirely new approach in an historical work.
Originally published in 1979, Development and the Problems of Village Nutrition was concerned with the development of micro-level approaches (and…
one in particular) to nutrition problem identification. The author believed that malnourishment could only really be examined, analysed and understood at the micro level where the whole range of factors affecting nutrition are displayed, and individual, community and regional problems could be diagnosed to provide the basis for more meaningful action and plans. The village-oriented approach to micro-level nutrition problems was initiated as a new approach to the study of development problems by the Village Studies Programme (VSP) at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in 1969. The research on which this book is based was conducted as part of the programme. Today it can be read in its historical context.
Food Adulteration and How to Beat It (Routledge Library Editions: Food and Diet)
By The London Food Commission. 1988
‘All natural: no artificial colours or flavours’. This was an increasingly familiar claim made for the food we bought in…
the late 1980s. But what about the other ingredients? Additives are only one form of adulteration. Nitrates, excess water, pesticide residues, too much fat, and the newest of them all food irradiation, are some of the others. The questions they pose for all of us are inescapable, as is the overall issue of poor-quality food dressed up to be what it is not.In this book, originally published in 1988, the London Food Commission, Britain’s independent food watchdog, spells out the dangers, and suggests solutions. It challenges official policy and condemns official secrecy. It says why British food is the sick food of Europe. It believes that what is needed is a major shake-up in Whitehall and the food trades, and calls for a new anti-adulteration alliance – a positive campaign for improved food policy. And it backs all arguments with rigorous and detailed evidence.Food matters to everyone. We deserve the best. We will only get it if we demand it. This book spelt out what our demands should be. Still a big topic of interest today this is an opportunity to look at some early issues surrounding the food we buy and assess how far we’ve come.
