Study Notes
Food Security
- Factors impacting food security include availability, accessibility, acceptability, and sustainability.
- Food availability means having sufficient food consistently.
- Accessibility means food is physically and economically reachable.
- Acceptability refers to cultural preferences, dietary needs, and ethical considerations related to food.
- Sustainability involves food systems that support future generations without harming the environment.
Fire Triangle
- The fire triangle has three components: heat, fuel, and oxygen.
- Removing any of these elements extinguishes the fire.
Kitchen and Food Safety
- Clean: Thoroughly wash hands, surfaces, and utensils.
- Cook: Heat foods to safe internal temperatures to kill bacteria.
- Separate: Keep raw and cooked foods apart to avoid cross-contamination.
- Chill: Refrigerate perishable foods within two hours to slow bacterial growth.
Danger Zone Temperature Range
- Bacteria grows rapidly between 4°C and 60°C.
Indigenous Food Sovereignty
- Indigenous Food Sovereignty is the right of Indigenous peoples to control their food systems, including traditional practices such as harvesting, sharing, and consuming.
- Barriers to this include land dispossession, restricted hunting/fishing, and environmental damage.
Canada's Food Guide & Residential Schools
- Canada's Food Guide historically ignored traditional Indigenous diets.
- Residential schools led to the erosion of Indigenous food practices due to forced assimilation.
- Nutritional experiments were conducted on Indigenous children without their consent.
Macronutrients
- Carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source (e.g., bread, rice).
- Proteins build and repair tissues (e.g., meat, legumes).
- Fats provide long-term energy and protect organs (e.g., oils, nuts).
Micronutrients
- Vitamins are categorized as fat-soluble (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble (B-complex, C).
- Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in fat tissues and can accumulate to toxic levels.
- Water-soluble vitamins are not stored, and excess is excreted in urine.
- Minerals include calcium, iron, and magnesium.
Water
- Water is crucial for hydration and metabolic processes.
The Digestive System
- The digestive system breaks down food into absorbable nutrients and eliminates waste.
- Key organs include:
- Mouth: Begins digestion with saliva.
- Esophagus: Moves food to the stomach via peristalsis.
- Stomach: Uses acids and enzymes to break down food.
- Small Intestine: Absorbs nutrients.
- Large Intestine: Absorbs water and forms waste.
- Rectum/Anus: Eliminates waste.
Faked Foods
- Faked foods are deliberately mislabeled or adulterated, appearing as higher quality or authentic.
- Examples include fake olive oil (mixed with cheaper oils), fish fraud (cheaper fish sold as premium species), and honey adulteration (mixed with corn syrup).
- Impacts include health risks from unknown additives, economic losses to consumers, and damaged trust in food systems.
Key Food Safety Topics
- Cook, Clean, Separate, Chill - the four key rules to prevent cross-contamination.
- The danger zone (4–60°C) should be avoided to prevent bacterial growth.
