Non-Agricultural Diets

A few remarks in Keltie’s blog have inspired me to do some more food research. As you can probably tell from many of my earlier food entries, I’m particularly intrigued by the food practices of groups of people who do not rely as heavily on agriculture as European and Asian cultures do. Sometimes it is quite difficult to find out much about the diets of these other cultures since they tend to be either marginalized or idealized in the writings of Anglos, and since I mainly speak English and am mainly aware of Anglo research sources, I’m mostly stuck with that sort of writing. With all of that in mind, here’s a write up (biased in the idealized direction I would say) on the diet of Australian Aboriginal groups of people.
