    Dettwyler's Dancing Skeletons

    Malnutrition is the insufficient, excessive, or imbalanced consumption of nutrients—it means literally “bad nutrition”. This was the concern of anthropologist Katherine A. Dettwyler in her book Dancing Skeletons. An ethnography set in Mali, a West African country, the book is Dettwyler’s account as she attempts to measure and document the effects of malnutrition on Malian children. Her ultimate goal is to develop “culturally appropriate nutrition education programs” (Dettwyler 1994, 7). This is not, however, an easy task as Dettwyler makes her way throughout Mali.…

    A Place At The Table, By Lori Silverbush And Kristi Jacobson

    Hunger in America is a great problem but it can be prevented and eradicated as long as the nation has the will and determination to make it happen both on a national scale. In America alone, statistics prove that one in every six individuals face hunger on a regular basis.
