 The study examined the diets of three distinct ethnic groups of black people in the United States U.S. born, Caribbean Latin American born, and African born. It found that the diets of these groups differed significantly due to cultural identity, taste preferences, and environmental factors. The U.S. born group had more access to traditional African American foods than the other two groups, but also adapted to local tastes and preferences. The Caribbean Latin American born group had stronger connections to their home country's cuisine, while the African born group maintained strong cultural ties to their homeland through food. Additionally, the study found that environmental factors such as cost and availability of food were important considerations for all three groups. This article was authored by AGM Brown, R.F.
