Peer Review
Hello. I'm Samantha and I'm excited to peer review this article because this topic seems very interesting. I actually have discussed this topic in one of my education classes and actually have some video clips from certain documentaries that may be of interest for this article if you would like the links for them! @Zmyer002 Samf1998 (talk) 14:57, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
@Samf1998: Hi, Samantha, it's Zonya. Could you please send me the links? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much :). Zmyer002 (talk) 05:04, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Zymer002: Here you go! I believe some of them are clips from a documentary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqYCePrzJWA Food or Medicine? I also think you should look into the documentary "A Place at the Table." I hope this helps!Samf1998 (talk) 13:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Peer Review
Hello, I'm Samaria and I will be assisting Samantha to peer review your article. I think the topics you are planning to contribute to this article are great. Here are a few questions to keep in mind that may be useful:
- Does social class determine what we eat?
- Does social class predict our diet quality?
- Does health cost or considerations factor in what we eat? @Zmyer002 Shortieex (talk) 15:45, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
@Shortieex: Hello, Samaria. I will definitely be taking these questions into consideration. I am very grateful for your input! I'll ping you from my sandbox so you can see the progression of my draft. Zmyer002 (talk) 05:22, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Bogdan's contributions section
Linchukbb (talk) 18:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
1) propose to remove or rephrase the below text from the intro paragraph from this article,
"Based on the food that people decide to consume, their social class position is often revealed."
2) propose to incorporate an organization outline divided by social classes resembling the following,
Social classes
Lower
- How do lower class eat? + example and cited source - Diet example + cited source - quality of diet - Food availability example + cited source
Middle
- How do middle class eat?+ example and cited source - Diet example + cited source - quality of diet - Food availability example + cited source
Upper
- How do upper class eat?+ example and cited source - Diet example + cited source - quality of diet - Food availability example + cited source
3) Better, more clearly and thoroughly address processed vs. unprocessed foods
- their role in diet of each social class
- health effects of eating processed vs. unprocessed foods
- Possibly create separate section or sub-section titled health effects of Processed and unprocessed foods?
4) Address history of issue? 5) Address general issue of social class differences in food consumption beyond the USA
