Pacific Island Flaps -- CONCLUSION. One Supersize Does Not Fit All -- Notes -- References -- IndexCheap Meat follows the controversial trade in inexpensive fatty cuts of lamb or mutton, called "flaps," from the farms of New Zealand and Australia to their primary markets in the Pacific islands of Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Fiji. Deborah Gewertz and Frederick Errington address the evolution of the meat trade itself along with the changing practices of exchange in Papua New Guinea. They show that flaps-which are taken from the animals' bellies and are often 50 percent fat-are not mere market transactions but evidence of the social nature of nutrition policies, illustrating and reinforcing Pacific Islanders' presumed second-class status relative to the white populations of Australia and New Zealand.Nutritional anthropologyPacific IslandsLamb meat industryPacific IslandsMutton industryPacific IslandsAnimal gut industriesPacific IslandsFood habitsPacific IslandsPacific IslandsForeign economic relationsAustraliaPacific IslandsForeign economic relationsNew Zealandanthropology.australia.belly meat.controversial.cuts of meat.discount meat.ethnic differences.ethnographers.farms and farmers.fatty cuts.fatty meat.fiji.flap food.food politics.historical.human rights.inexpensive meat.lamb.meat farming.meat market.meat trade.mutton.new zealand.nonfiction.nutrition policies.pacific islanders.pacific islands.papua new guinea.second class status.social issues.social nutrition.social science.tonga.trade policies.Nutritional anthropologyLamb meat industryMutton industryAnimal gut industriesFood habits394.1/20996.5Gewertz Deborah B.1948-1475387Errington Frederick Karl1475388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781196303321Cheap meat3689591UNINA
