Culture influences food consumption and nutrient intake. In this paper we present a new approach in research, examining how knowledge and understanding of food is encoded in cultural models. The degree to which individuals match these shared models in their own consumption patterns is then measured, using the concept of cultural consonance. In research conducted in urban Brazil, the configuration of cultural models of food, and the association of cultural consonance in food with nutrient intake, are moderated by socioeconomic status. The theory and method employed here offers a new approach to the study of culture, food, and nutrient intake.
文化影响食物消费和营养摄入。在本文中，我们提出一种新的研究方法，考察食物的知识和理解是如何在文化模型中编码的。然后，利用文化一致性的概念，衡量个体在自身消费模式中与这些共享模型的匹配程度。在巴西城市进行的研究中，食物文化模型的构成，以及食物文化一致性与营养摄入的关联，受到社会经济地位的调节。这里采用的理论和方法为文化、食物和营养摄入的研究提供了一种新途径。
