« La façon dont les hommes conçoivent la satisfaction de leurs besoins alimentaires ne saurait se réduire à de strictes logiques utilitaires ou technologiques. L'alimentation a une fonction structurante de l'organisation sociale d'un groupe humain. Qu'il s'agisse des activités de production, de distribution, de préparation, de consommation, elle est un objet crucial du savoir socio-anthropologique. » La gastronomie, grand marqueur de l'identité française, est un événement socio-historique qui a fait l'objet de trop peu de travaux sociologiques. Son extrême complexité et les fonctions sociales qu'elle assure constituent, tant qu'elles n'auront pas été élucidées, des obstacles centraux au déploiement de la pensée sociologique sur l'alimentation. Fort de ce constat, Jean-Pierre Poulain montre que le concept d'espace social alimentaire permet de penser l'alimentation comme un facteur structurant d'une organisation sociale et plaide pour faire de l'originalité de la connexion bio-anthropologique d'un groupe humain à son milieu l'objet de la socio-anthropologie de l'alimentation. Que deviennent nos modèles alimentaires ? Quels sont les effets de la transformation de l'organisation de la vie quotidienne sur les manières de manger ? Que recouvre ce sentiment de crise, de risque exacerbé dans l'alimentation moderne ? Quels sont les impacts de la mondialisation ? L'auteur dresse l'inventaire des apports des sciences sociales à la compréhension des « mangeurs modernes ».

A number of economic, cultural, and contextual factors are driving urban America's obesity crisis, which can create chronic health conditions for those least able to manage them. Considering urban obesity through a social justice lens, this book is the first to help social workers and others develop targeted interventions for effective outcomes. The text dissects the problem of urban obesity in populations of color from individual, family, group, community, and policy perspectives. Beginning with a historical survey of urban obesity in communities of color, anti-obesity policies and programs, and the role of social work in addressing this threat, the volume follows with an analysis of the social, ecological, environmental, and spatial aggravators of urban obesity, such as the food industry's advertising strategies, which promote unhealthy choices; the failure of local markets to provide good food options; the lack of safe exercise spaces; and the paucity of heath education. Melvin Delgado reviews recent national obesity statistics; explores the connection between food stamps and obesity; and reveals the financial and social consequences of the epidemic for society as a whole. He concludes with recommendations for effective health promotion programs, such as youth-focused interventions, community gardens, and community-based food initiatives, and a unique consideration of urban obesity in relation to acts of genocide and national defense.
