Seasons Celebrations or Food Choice and Obesity in Black America

Seasons & Celebrations: Cooking Secrets Of Italian Villages Deliciously Translated for the American Table

Author: Rosalie Fuscaldo Gaziano

The festive recipes I have included are essentially hearty, family inspired traditional recipes. Some of these unique holiday specialties can be traced to remote villages of Italy. Many were the guarded secret of the community for generations. Others are seasonal specialties with a rich history of ancient tradition-- now expanded in the American culture by the abundance and flavor of American foods.

Each recipe is aimed at elegant simplicity, simple enough for even children to follow directions and prepare, as indeed the children of our family have demonstrated.

Simple as the preparation of these coice seasonal foods is, the elegance of serving them can make a celebration of any meal.

Food Choice and Obesity in Black America: Creating a New Cultural Diet

Author: Eric J Bailey

Anthropologist Eric Bailey uses a cultural and holistic analysis of African American food preferences to show how black Americans generally perceive health, body image, food, dieting, physical fitness, and exercise. As is true of Americans overall, black Americans are becoming more overweight and obese than ever before. So, too, they are seeing the consequences: heart attacks, strokes, hypertension, and Type II diabetes at earlier and earlier ages. Bailey offers a new "cultural" diet for black Americans and a prescription for working collectively, not only to understand this critical health issue, but also to establish a lifestyle strategy that will be both effective and manageable.
