DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Health – Food and health
By the end of this lesson you will have:
• Familiarised yourself with the Epidemiological transition
model• Learnt about food and health
and how the two are connected
• Investigated a case study about the link between food and
health
Re-Cap – Odd One Out
• A) $24 billion/Physical Activity/UK• B) Influenza/AIDS/Heart Disease• C) High Blood Pressure/High
Cholesterol/Walking• D) Affluence/N.C.D.s/Infectious Diseases• E) Morbidity/Mortality/Death Rates• Write your answers on a post-it and stick on
the board
Epidemiological Transition Model
• 1. Modernisation and development creates epidemiological transition
• 2. With modernisation, or increasing affluence, comes a different range of illnesses
• 3. Initially there were 3 stages ranging from pestilence to ‘human induced illness’
• 4. There are 3 variations of the basic model which correlates to different areas and the speed to which they pass through the stages ‘western’, ‘accelerated’ and ‘delayed’
Epidemiological Transition Model
• Study the graph on page 21• Describe what you see • Complete the activity on the bottom of page

Famine
• F.A.O = Food and Agricultural Society• 800million have chronic malnutrition• Enough food is produced globally to provide
2,700calories to everyone each day• Malnutrition = a condition from dietary
deficiency• Undernourishment = Not eating enough food
over a period of time
Famine
• We live in a globalised world – why isn’t everyone getting their fair share?
• Natural events and human mismanagement• May be food exported but not that individual families
can afford
3 Reasons why famine occurs:• DROUGHT• ARITHMETIC CROP GROWTH• PRICE INFLATION
Drought Case Study
Short Term Solutions to Famine
• SHORT TERM• Usually carried out by N.G.Os such as charities.
Aquinas alone raises significant amounts of money for CAFOD who respond to famines
• Overdependence can be a problem with short term aid – there is only a limited supply and it might damage the local agricultural economy
• TASK: To remember the issues relating to famine relief C.D.F.I.C.T – stick on walls
Long Term Solutions to Famine
• Making famine help more productive• Usually comes in farming – SYNTHESIS• Using improved technology or fertilisers• Getting the produce to markets more quickly
whilst it is still fresh and desirable• Easing international trade and cancelling
national debts• Drop the Debt – Make Poverty History
Obesity
Obesity
Supersize Me
Reducing Obesity
• In what ways would you keep yourself healthy?
• Government campaigns• It is of utmost importance the governments,
N.G.Os and private companies keep their citizens healthy
Extension Task/Homework
• ‘Discuss causes and consequences of periodic famine’ – 15 Jan 2012
• Famine: what is famine incl. examples• What are the causes of famine?• Which strata of society will suffer the most?• Consequences: Livestock, food, mass
migration• International aid efforts
Extension Task/Homework
• ‘Discuss causes and consequences of obesity’• Obesity: what is obesity incl. examples• What are the causes of obesity?• Which strata of society will suffer the most?• Consequences: N.C.Ds, government, social• Government attempts to stop obesity
