Frequently Asked Questions -- Notes -- List of Tables -- List of Figures -- Acknowledgments -- IndexCalories-too few or too many-are the source of health problems affecting billions of people in today's globalized world. Although calories are essential to human health and survival, they cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. They are also hard to understand. In Why Calories Count, Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim explain in clear and accessible language what calories are and how they work, both biologically and politically. As they take readers through the issues that are fundamental to our understanding of diet and food, weight gain, loss, and obesity, Nestle and Nesheim sort through a great deal of the misinformation put forth by food manufacturers and diet program promoters. They elucidate the political stakes and show how federal and corporate policies have come together to create an "eat more" environment. Finally, having armed readers with the necessary information to interpret food labels, evaluate diet claims, and understand evidence as presented in popular media, the authors offer some candid advice: Get organized. Eat less. Eat better. Move more. Get political.California studies in food and culture ;33.FoodCaloric contentFood consumptionFoodCaloric content.Food consumption.613.2613.23CKB000000bisacshNestle Marion1643906Nesheim Malden C1804713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958181803321Why calories count4379741UNINA04015nam 22005413 450 991088793860332120250416110720.097828004173942800417390(CKB)4100000011516532(MiAaPQ)EBC6373470(Au-PeEL)EBL6373470(OCoLC)1202466307(PPN)26985889X(Exl-AI)6373470(FR-PaCSA)88941242(FRCYB88941242)88941242(FR-PaCSA)88903785(FRCYB88903785)88903785(EXLCZ)99410000001151653220210901d2020 uy 0freurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierVous N'en Mangerez Point L'alimentation Comme Distinction Religieuse1st ed.Namur :Editions de l'Universite de Bruxelles,2020.©2020.1 online resource (196 pages)9782800417387 2800417382 Intro -- Titre -- Copyright -- À propos de l'auteur -- À propos du livre -- Pour référencer cet eBook -- Table des matières -- Remerciements -- Du miel au sel.

It examines how food restrictions, fasting, and dietary taboos serve as mechanisms for religious distinction and identity formation. The book offers a diachronic and comparative analysis of various cultures, such as ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and pre-Hispanic Mexico, highlighting how dietary choices and rituals reflect and reinforce social and religious boundaries. The volume is part of a series on the history of religions, emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach that includes history, philosophy, and philology. It is intended for an academic audience interested in the intersection of culture, religion, and identity.Generated by AI.Religion and cultureGenerated by AIFood habitsGenerated by AIReligion and cultureFood habitsMazzetto Elena715945Collectif477972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910887938603321Vous N'en Mangerez Point4271358UNINA
