Contribution à une étude comparative entre le régime alimentaire humain dans la zone urbaine et la zone rurale

Abstract

This work has allowed us to examine the diet adopted by the population in both rural and urban areas in the region of Ain Témouchent, as well as the factors that influence eating habits, for this we have proposed a survey carried out on a sample of 100 individuals distributed in these two areas for the purpose of comparison, then it was found that the population of the rural area still maintains a simple, natural and traditional way of life with a diet based on durum wheat, with vegetables, olive oil, little meat and local fruits, unfortunately; this model tends to disappear mainly in urban areas to give way to food practices related to what is called the westernization of food which is dominated by fast food and the consumption of processed products
