Abstract:
"Food purity and nutrition has inter-disciplinary roots in anthropological, ethnological, evolutionary, psychological and applied perspectives. Pure Food presents the theoretical and cross-cultural aspects of adopting food purity. It demonstrates variations and similarities in diverse cultural beliefs, behaviours and practices in different societies that define the pure food mindset. As a subject with much contemporary relevance, Pure Food appeals to professional practitioners involved in promoting healthier food and nutrition, as well as to general readers with an interest in food purity"--
