Abstract
Small Bites is an attempt to comprehensively examine the gargantuan issues of child feeding and nutrition, both today and in the past. Tina Mo ff at uses an innovative combination of theoretical frameworks (including the biocultural approach, life history theory and critical food theory) in her attempt to unravel the factors that contribute to child feeding practices on both an individual and structural level. Beginning with an evolutionary perspective, moving through historical practices and the industrialisation of food, and ending by thinking about what lies ahead for childhood feeding practices, the book feels well-rounded and relevant not just to anthropologists, but also to policy makers, educators, caregivers, and the public as a whole.
小咬是一个尝试全面检查儿童喂养和营养的巨大问题,无论是在今天和过去。蒂娜·莫·夫特(Tina Mo ff)使用了一种创新的理论框架组合(包括生物文化方法、生活史理论和批判食物理论),试图在个体和结构层面上揭示影响儿童喂养实践的因素。从进化的角度开始,通过历史实践和食物工业化,并以思考儿童喂养实践的未来结束,这本书不仅对人类学家,而且对政策制定者,教育工作者,护理人员和整个公众都很有意义。
