Abstract

Dietary acculturation occurs in a society when members of a minority group adopt the food choices/dietary patterns of the majority group. Evidence suggests that this is a complex, multidimensional process ranging from using traditional foods in new ways and/or using new ingredients to make traditional foods/meals to replacing traditional foods with new foods. The process is affected by socioeconomic, demographic, and cultural factors, as well as by the extent of exposure to mainstream culture.
