A Case of a Change in Food Habits in Bougainville, British Solomon Islands
(This brief discussion of the problem of changing food habits in a primitive group points a moral for the administrator who in this country is concerned with bringing about changes in the nutritive level of the general population. From time to time we shall publish material dealing with this problem in the United States in order to indicate that undernourishment is not merely a chemical or a financial problem, but primarily a problem in human rel…
