About this Unit
This unit aims to develop an understanding of the inter relationship between nutrition and health in the Australian community using anthropological approaches and to provide the student with a sound foundation in nutritional anthropology in order that they may systematically analyse nutritional problems associated with: world food issues; minority (ethnic and/or Koori) groups within Australia; disorders of affluence (such as obesity, cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease); current nutrition issues in the community.
