[Nutritional surveys in some centers of 3 provinces of Sardinia. II. Nutrition and tradition]. / Rilevamenti alimentari in alcuni centri di tre province della Sardegna: Nota II Alimentazione e tradizione.

ABSTRACT

The differences between the nutritional habits we noticed in the villages under study, concern the geographical position, the kind of agricultural or pastoral economy and industrialization. However, these are not the only decisive factors. In some villages where average income in high, tradition still influences nutritional habits, as the preference for some typical dishes suggests. In other villages, where income is low, but where progress has been rapidly reached, the preference for more sophisticated or advertised foods seems to prevail.
