"Traditional diet" is the diets of native populations such as the Native Americans, Khoisan or Australian Aborigines. Often to qualify for cultural cuisine, traditional diets include more organic farming and seasonal food according to food origins.
Traditional diets vary with availability of local resources, such as fish in coastal towns, eels and eggs in estuary settlements, or squash, corn and beans in farming towns, as well as with cultural and religious customs and taboos. In some cases, the crops and domestic animals that characterize a traditional diet have been replaced by modern high-yield crops, and are no longer available.[1] The slow food movement attempts to counter this trend and to preserve traditional diets.
