Abstract

This study examines, from a sociological perspective, the complex interplay among cultural beliefs, food patterns, and nutritional health. This study investigates how cultural norms, values, and socialisation processes influence people's dietary habits and food choices. It does this by drawing on previous research and empirical data. Additionally, it looks into how cultural variables affect people's ability to obtain nutrient-dense meals, how eating habits shape who a person is, and how these things relate to public health initiatives. By integrating knowledge from public health, anthropology, and sociology, this study thoroughly explains the intricate relationship between food, culture, and health consequences.
