From 3 high schools, 6 health-affiliated teachers and 1 food service manager participated. The instructional material of the teachers and cafeteria food menus (March and April) were examined via content analysis. Coding was based on the food options that teachers explicitly and implicitly identified as healthy/unhealthy, which were sorted into the categories: Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein, and Dairy. This was then compared to the food options on the menus. Interviews were also conducted to gain insight on the participants’ perspectives on the nutrition education curriculum, cafeteria food and school food policies. It was found that there were matches: the presence of more fresh food options than fried, more whole grains than refined, and all low-fat dairy products. However, there were also mismatches: daily offerings of burgers, fries and pizza, a lack of diversity in fruits and vegetables, and a lack of interaction opportunities between the teacher and food service staff. An underlying reason for these differences is because each department acts independently and holds different goals and objectives.Item Care and Preservation of Food in the Home(University of Texas at Austin, 1915-12-10) Bear, Jennie R.Item Care and Preservation of Food in the Home(University of Texas at Austin, 1916-08-25) Bear, Jennie R.Item Cotton Seed Flour as a Human Food(University of Texas at Austin, 1917-05-10) University of Texas at AustinItem COVID-19 in Italy: The Revival of Culinary Traditions(2020-05) Lee, IvyThis thesis explores the effects that COVID-19 has on Italian food traditions. Before the outbreak of the deadly virus, Italian cuisine was becoming a shadow of what it used to be. The increase in tourism and popularity of travel websites made it almost impossible for local businesses and small restaurants to stay open. As a result, regional cooking and traditional healthy food habits were no longer the pillars of Italian cuisine. The needs of the tourists began to outweigh the needs of the locals and authentic Italian cuisine was increasingly harder to encounter. The economic prosperity generated by the hospitality industry overshadowed what attracts tourists to the country in the first place. However, COVID-19 changed the fate of the Italian food landscape. The nation-wide quarantine created an opportunity for re-entry into some of those food traditions that were quickly being lost. Even among the mess, there is a silver lining. Throughout the course of my research, I had to start over twice due to some major road- blocks. In the short time I had to write my thesis, it was hard to build a defense. I advise further research in the topic of discussion.Item A Cultural Return to Asian Food With Easy Recipes(ORANGE Magazine, 2021-12-22) Ha, TiffanyItem "Digging In" to the Heart of Texas: A History of Iconic Texan Foods(2023-05) Lane, MadelineWhen you think of Texas, what foods come to mind? Maybe brisket, breakfast tacos, or chicken fried chicken. Texas is an incredibly diverse state, the site of the mingling and clashing of several different cultures, and its culinary traditions reflect this. But how did these now iconic foods become emblematic not only of the culture from which they originated but of a Texan culture? What are the histories of the people that created these foods and what can they tell us about Texas and its culture? This inquiry will examine community- and traditionally-published cookbooks, as well as historical works on foodways to explore these topics on food as an expression of Texan culture and its major influences.Item Do We Overeat Because It's "Healthy"?(2016-05-19) Dawson, AdrienneItem Eataly: a Cross-Cultural Examination of the Likelihood and Development of Eating Disorders in America and Italy(2020-05) McGinn, AineThis cross-cultural comparison is a broad examination of eating disorder development in two distinct countries: the United States and Italy. It examines how cultural attitudes towards food and body image affect the likelihood and development of eating disorders in America and Italy. It determines whether there are significant differences in this context between the two countries and cultures. It elaborates on cultural attitude towards food and body image and whether they have any effect on the likelihood and development of eating disorders in general.Item Factory Farm to Table: Agriculture’s Impact on Austin’s Working Class(2018-04-06) Cavanaugh, KerriFactory farming accounts for the production of 99% of meat in America. Factory farm practices are often unethical, dangerous, and hidden from public view. Despite the often unseen work of this industry, factory farming plays a major role in American diets and food choices. The lobbying done by the corporations who own factory farms (like Tyson’s), and those corporations who utilize factory produced food (like McDonald’s), have helped shape government regulations and subsidies to their benefits, resulting in low cost, high calorie foods being more accessible than nutritious foods. This paper explores how the ways individuals can afford to eat shapes the ways the individuals think about themselves and their places in society. This is achieved first by looking at government nutritional guides and funding for food, and the consequences these decisions create for consumers. Next, it will look at how factory farms came to exist and how these practices affect the employees within the factories. Then, it looks into a government bill on obesity and how such proposed legislation shapes public attitudes on obesity. The fourth chapter analyses surveys and a focus group that were conducted as part of this study. Lastly, long-term and short-term solutions to America’s food production system will be discussed.Item The Fate of Food(2021-03-05) Little, AmandaItem Food & Beverage Advertising and Youth: a focus-group analysis of what youth find appealing in food and beverage marketing(2015-04) Preston, Jessica; Pasch, KerynItem Food Conservation to Help Win the War(University of Texas at Austin, 1917-10-05) University of Texas at AustinItem Food for Growing Children(University of Texas at Austin, 1917-02-01) University of Texas at AustinItem Grocery Stores for the UT Student (That Aren't HEB)(ORANGE Magazine, 2022-03-25) Raghavan, Anjali
