Article Description

The present article explores some of the ways Thai industrial workers view their diet and eating patterns in the context of their lives as industrial workers. Our purpose in the study was to understand the interaction between dietary practices, economic circumstances, and social conditions. We use a biocultural approach and draw on survey questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and narratives about health practices. Content analysis revealed information concerning the impact of factory life on eating practices, perceptions of the relationships among health and nutrition, and issues related to food insecurity and coping strategies.
