Food,
Culture, & Communication
THIS EXAM HAS SEVEN (7)
QUESTIONS (75 points in total). We will use Bloom’s “Levels” (Taxonomy of Cognitive Learning) as a
model for the question item and response.
1. [20 points] WORD BANK. [Levels:
Knowledge; Comprehension]. Build a word bank of what you know as foundational terms for our study of food and
communication. Define each in your own words. Your list should include at least 20 “bedrock” terms/theories. Be sure
to explain (show
comprehension) if any of your identified terms are
“contested” (i.e., if some people don’t agree with what the term means—or what it should mean.). NOTE: Once you have defined
the term in your Word Bank, you do not need to do so again in the following
questions.
2. [10 points] CHAPTER 13. [Level:
Comprehension]. In Food and Hunger, the author argues: “When it
comes to hunger, your class matters, your race matters, your gender matters,
your age matters, and your geographic location matters.” How is this a true
statement? Explain one or more of these social groups that “matter” when it
comes to hunger. How are they affected? (Hint: Do not merely summarize the state of hunger. Explain
the concept. Define any new terms. Provide evidence, not opinion, for your claims.)

and economic aspects that are among the predominant class matters that
determine the existence of hunger. Social class differences have a defined
pattern; for example, affluent communities have financial strength; hence they
can afford food; however, low-income communities have monetary constraints that
limit their access to nourishment resources. People struggling with starvation
are often less privileged as they live within environments that have limited
food outlets such as groceries and eateries. Unlike prosperous communities, food-insecure
households have insufficient monetary strength; thus, they are uncertain of
having, or are incapable of acquiring enough food. High food expenditures
result in low-income families depending on assistance programs that provide
them with aid, reducing the effects of hunger.
