Nutritional Health and Education Project Started in Rural Schools : A Study

Abstract

Transforming food habits is a complex and long-term task. It emphasizes on how to change food habits and not how they should be changed. Due to the pressure of cultural values ??on food, it is believed that it is particularly difficult to change them. Transformation has often been achieved through the realization that changes in diet should be brought in the same cultural context in which they are formed. This is necessary because food habits are dynamic. Therefore, despite the economic and socio-cultural dangers of change, habits can be changed. The role of women is particularly noticeable because in many parts of the world, the nutrition and diet of the people of the household is still controlled mostly by women.
