Home-Based Learning : Week 2

Home-Based Learning: Term 3 Week 2

Re-cap on Consumption of Non-Staple Food

In week 1, you have learnt about the different levels of food consumption between the DCs and LDCs, the meaning of staple and non-staple food and why there is a change in food preferences globally.

The table below shows the changes in the consumption of non-staple food items.


Questions:

1) With reference to what you have studied in class (TB pg 172-174) , describe the changes in the amount of 'high-value food items' such as cheese and soft drinks in the 1970 and 1996 in USA.

2) Think about what the consequences (impacts) of these changes in the DCs and the LDCs are.
