章节摘录

　　To the desert peoples， eating the meat ofyoung goats —— and with their rigorous sense ofhospitality， offering it to their guests +　is anintegral part of life. Goats and rice arepart of their social ecology， their traditionalsystem of values and beliefs， their relationshipwith the world. Young men who leave for thecity change this traditional relationship inmany ways， in the matter of food by turningto dried milk， white bread， and Pepsi-Cola.What is available， what they can afford， whattheir peers are buying —— these are just a fewof the factors at play. In　the　industrialized　world，　dietaryfolklore itself is all but swept away beforethe brooms of the newer sciences ——biochemistry，　physiology，　andstatistics. They assemble for us，in a piecemeal epistemology offood and a new kind of nutrition， approachedthrough the intellect　rather than　throughphysical experience.
