Observations among nomads suggest there is a strong ecological interdependence of diet and disease in tribal societies which favors survival of man. This relationship may be disrupted by changes in diet to conform to the highly productive technology of the West. Such changes may result in intensification of indigenous disease and in the transfer of disease characteristics of Western societies. To prevent these consequences, relief feeding and long-term attempts to upgrade nutrition should be carried out with traditional foods wherever possible.
对游牧民族的观察表明，在部落社会中，饮食与疾病之间存在着强烈的生态相互依存关系，这有利于人类的生存。这种关系可能会因饮食变化以适应西方高生产力技术而受到干扰。此类变化可能导致本土疾病加剧，并带来西方社会疾病特征的转移。为防止这些后果，应尽可能使用传统食物进行救济性喂食和长期改善营养的尝试。
