Using data collected from 105 households in Sonora, Mexico, the
author combines detailed ethnographic research with quantitative
analyses of income, diet, and nutritional status to examine the
dietary patterns of residents who "cook and cope among the cacti."
Employing a new analytical concept of "available income" - which
can differ greatly from total income and provide valuable insight
into why people eat what they do - the work explores a variety of
social and cultural factors that affect food expenditure and
consumption. Home production of food and the extent to which women
are employed outside of the home are just two of the many variables
discussed that influence available income and how it is used. But
even among groups with similar available incomes, variables of
ethnicity, prestige, nutritional knowledge, and the desire for
consumer goods come into play.
