heavyweightheart:Here is a really gigantic pic of highly respected dietitian and social worker Ellyn Satter’s hierarchy of food needs. First, enough food. This will be roughly anywhere from 2000-4000 cals/per day for most adults, depending on age, size, and activity level.Acceptable food. Food that you’re willing to eat, acquired in ways you’re willing to get it. Leftovers from a garbage can would not be acceptable to anyone who had enough food. Reliable, ongoing access to food. Self-explanatory… you don’t worry that the next meal, or even the next week’s food, won’t be there.Good-tasting food. Food you like! Palatable food! This is an exciting level to reach.Novel food. Introducing variety, trying new foods and new ways of preparing them.Instrumental food. Nutritional considerations, foods that serve a specific ‘health’ purpose. Say you’re wanting to get more of a certain micronutrient, so you choose foods that provide it. This level is what many people wrongly treat as the base of the pyramid when attempting ‘healthy eating’ in our frankly unhinged diet culture. -- source link
