Cuisine is the cultural use of food. It is linked to agriculture and trade as much as nutritional need and culinary artistry.
Combinations of core foods make up cuisines, but these combinations are constantly changing. Meat is a core food in Australian cuisines, and the use of meat is constantly changing.
Meat provides important nutrients in dietary patterns based on Australian core foods. Nutrients delivered by meat, such as vitamin B12, iron and zinc, are not easily replaced by alternatives from the same food group in dietary models based on the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating.
Lean meats have a place in a healthy dietary pattern for managing lifestyle disease risk.
Improving the overall diet of a population requires an understanding of cuisines used in that population and how core foods contribute to dietary factors linked to health and disease.
