Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "nutrition transition" refers to the shift in dietary consumption and energy expenditure that coincides with economic, demographic, and epidemiological changes. In this context, affluent consumers often have better access to healthy or organic diets, while poorer populations may have limited options, leading them to consume more highly processed and high-calorie foods. This creates a dietary bifurcation along class lines.
