Abstract：
Amazonian Indigenous Peoples are undergoing drastic changes in their ways of life including the quality and availability of food and its impact on their health and well-being. Indigenous populations have their own perspectives and interpretations of dietary changes unfolding in their communities. Based on in-depth interviews, observations and validation workshops we explored the way Awajún describe and problematise the concept of healthy and unhealthy food in the context of the nutrition transition. We learn that the characteristics of \'good food\' are informed by their capacity to give strength, protect health and enable them to be hardworking people. On the contrary, food that comes from the city weakens the body and may result in health problems. For the Awajún, chicken with hormones, fish preserved in cans, and powdered milk negatively affect their health. We argue that the dichotomy \'healthy\' and \'unhealthy\' used to classify food provides information not only about Indigenous conceptualisations of health and die, but is also a critique of broader structural processes affecting their well-being. The terms, explanations and idioms used by the Awajún to talk about food, provide an insight into Indigenous perspectives and knowledge key to informing global health interventions in culturally appropriate ways.
摘要：
亚马逊土著人民的生活方式正在发生巨大变化，包括食物的质量和供应及其对其健康和福祉的影响。土著居民对社区中正在发生的饮食变化有自己的观点和解释。根据深度访谈,观察和验证研讨会，我们探索了Awajún在营养过渡的背景下描述和质疑健康和不健康食品概念的方式。我们了解到，“好食物”的特征是由它们提供力量的能力所决定的，保护健康，使他们成为勤劳的人。相反,来自城市的食物会削弱身体，并可能导致健康问题。对于阿瓦琼人来说，有荷尔蒙的鸡，罐头里保存的鱼,和奶粉对他们的健康产生负面影响。我们认为，用于对食物进行分类的“健康”和“不健康”二分法不仅提供了有关健康和死亡的土著概念的信息，但也是对影响其福祉的更广泛结构过程的批评。条款，阿瓦琼人用来谈论食物的解释和成语，提供对土著观点和知识的见解，这些观点和知识是以文化上适当的方式为全球卫生干预措施提供信息的关键。
