In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism. Dietary habits are the habitual decisions an individual or culture makes when choosing what foods to eat. With the word diet, it is often implied the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related). Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos, due to personal tastes or due to ethical reasons. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthful. Proper nutrition requires the proper ingestion and equally important, the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and food energy in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in health and mortality, and can also define cultures and play a role in religion. From Wikipedia under the

Since corn is not natinve to the pacific, and wheat does not grow as well, the basic crop is rice which is abundant and grows well in that environment. But it is a very labor intensive crop and requires lots of people especially in a traditional setting. Because of this it is a social activity. Entire villages are needed to irrigate fields and plant the seedlings. Answered by Doc E - Sun Sep 2 13:17:19 2007 Is there more than one healthy way to lose weight (in terms of diet and nutrition) ?

I lost weight with just eating chicken breast and vegetables, and salads. l coffee a day, lots of water. Another one I tried that was super easy was counting the points with Weight Watchers. Without trying I would lose 2 lbs weekly (8 lbs a month!). I stopped going because of the weekly meetings, but some people love those meetings-- I think it depends on the instructor.
