NUFD 153 FINAL REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS; ALREADY
GRADED A; 2025
Nutrition transition - ANS-Transforming the eating habits of better-off people in countries
such as Brazil, China, and India. Food has become more highly processes which
means it is higher in sugars and fats and low in vitamins and minerals.
Structural Adjustment Program - ANS-SAPs are supposed to allow economies of
developing countries be more market-oriented. SAPs generally impliment programs
which include internal changes (notably privatization and deregulation) as well as
external ones, especially the reduction of trade barriers. Countries that fail to enact
these programmes may be subject to severe fiscal discipline. Critics argue that the
financial threats to poor countries amount to blackmail, and that poor nations have no
choice but to comply. Once they take the loan, it gets tacked on with an interest rate the
farmer will never be able to pay back and then they are trapped into a contract with the
IMF or World Bank and must follow free market policies that hurt the global south and
benefit the global north but they have no choice but to enter these programs.
Food Deserts(Tip: characteristics, reasons these were created, AND health
consequences)Food workers - ANS-Are usually in urban neighborhoods or rural towns
without access to healthy nutritious foods. Instead of supermarkets, they are serviced
by fast food chains. The people living in these areas are usually considered low income.
Redlining is basically denying a certain area the services based on race or ethnicity.
Redlining is outlining an area so banks know not to invest in those areas. Health
complications that come with this are obesity, chronic illnesses and diet-related
diseases.
Food Workers (Tip: describe at least 4 characteristics) - ANS-The food industry has the
highest employment rate at 21 million. The workers are also not paid by the hour, they
are paid by how much they pick. These workers are also the most insecure, seeing as
they get paid the least amount of money. Food workers are also at risk for the most
injuries because of their working conditions.
, Gender (Tip: As it relates to food choice. Be sure to provide an example) - ANS-The
food advertisements are designed to be targeted to either women or men. Food
advertisements create relationship around women and food centering on: Guilt,
overindulgence, anxiety, consumption to achieve a higher class status.
Dynamics of Food and Society (•Fundamental cause of hunger and food insecurity in
US •Factors causing hunger and food insecurity globally) - ANS-- The fundamental
cause of hunger and food insecurity in the United States is poverty, or a lack of the
adequate resources to address basic needs such as food, shelter, and health care.
- The factors causing hunger and food insecurity globally are political, economic, and
social processes such as war,poverty, and inequality. In short, there is enough food in
the world to provide people with sufficient calories but the reason there is global food
insecurity and global hunger is due to an unequal distribution of power and therefore
inequalities in who receives the food we have.
- Of the 7.1 billion people on this planet, 870 million, or 1/8 the, suffer from chronic
undernourishment. Almost all of these people live in the global south and only a small
percentage of the hungry live in developed nations.
- The steps of the food system diagram are production, processing, distribution,
consumption and waste.
Food System - ANS-The food system is interdependent parts of a system that provides
food for a community. It includes parts such as production, processing, distribution,
consumption, and eventual waste of the food. The food system deals with the
environment, politics, society/culture, and the economy at each stage in the system so it
is a highly valuable concept when dealing with the dynamics of food and society. It is
also important for understanding the dynamics of food and society because different
groups of people may be benefitting from societies food system while others are being
harmed or pushed into poverty because of it.
Colonialism (The legacy of colonialism (What happened in Europe? Global South? Food
insecurity?) - ANS-In 1492, Christopher Columbus came to America and found the
indigenous people/native Americans already living here and noticed how succeptibal
they were to being exploited. They were brutally murdered by Europeans and
experienced a catastrophic population decline from extreme labor conditions,
introduction to new diseases, dispossession of land, and an overall assault on their way
of life. Eventually, slavery was introduced by the Europeans.
Colonialism is a structure of power and has occurred countless times in world history. It
is the domination and exploitation of indigenous peoples and territories by foreign
invaders. Europeans seized the land of the Natives and started planting monocultures in
order to sell it and make a profit rather than allow the Native's to use the land to feed
their own people. This started a global trend where the global North would exploit the
global south and extract the resources for their own profit and gain at the expense of the
people inhabiting those lands.
IFAP - ANS-System of rearing animals using intensive production-line methods that aim
to maximize the amount of meat, milk and eggs, while minimizing costs. People should
