Healthy Eating Is Human: Joys, Challenges, and 3 Things You Can Do
Written by Ariane Lang, BSc, MBA on June 29, 2021 — Medically reviewed by Kim Rose RDN, CDCES, CNSC, LD, Nutrition
If you ask a group of people what eating healthy means to them, you’ll probably get a different answer every time.

For some, healthy eating means reining in a fast food habit or consuming more fruits and vegetables, while for others it may mean occasionally enjoying a piece of cake without feeling guilty.
Healthy Eating Includes Cultural Foods

Healthy eating is sometimes seen as a necessary evil.

On one hand, it’s essential to good health, but on the other, it’s suggestive of restriction and self-denial steeped in Eurocentrism.

Even in the Caribbean, where I’m from, many nutrition programs are modeled on the American food pyramid, which then implies what healthy eating looks like to the local communities.


What are cultural foods?

Cultural foods — also called traditional dishes — represent the traditions, beliefs, and practices of a geographic region, ethnic group, religious body, or cross-cultural community.

Cultural foods may involve beliefs about how certain foods are prepared or used. They may also symbolize a group’s overall culture.
