The results of a study of the semantics and functioning of the gastronomic metaphor in the Russian parliamentary discourse are presented in the article. Based on the material of the parliamentary discussion of the early twentieth century, the features of the functioning of metaphors, which are based on the associative similarity between political activity and food, the eating process are established. The author dwells in detail on the use of gastronomic metaphors by nationalist deputies in the course of discussions unfolding at meetings of the State Duma. The results of the classification of metaphors identified on the indicated material belonging to the “Food” sphere are presented. It was established that they can be divided into three groups according to the figurative component: metaphors with the literal meaning of absorbing or eating something, metaphors with the value of the quality of food consumed, metaphors with the value of the digestion process. It is concluded that in the semantic aspect, the gastronomic metaphor in the Russian parliamentary discourse expresses a persistent negative assessment, since it is associated with the semantics of extermination, destruction, deception ( to give a stone instead of bread ), abnormal physiological phenomena (hunger, overeating, indigestion). It is emphasized that in the functional aspect, the negative appraisal of the gastronomic metaphor made it possible to use it in parliamentary discourse as a means of political struggle with the aim of lowering the political assets of opponents.

«Man is what he eats,» these words belong to the great Pythagoras. He meant by these words the connection of the origin of consumed food with the spiritual development of man. In fact, a lot depends on the nature of nutrition, the quality of food and, of course, on the degree of its perception by the body. Digestion process begins not in the stomach, but directly in the oral cavity as a result of mechanical processing of products with teeth and under the influence of the secretion of the salivary glands. That is why healthy teeth are the key to the normal functioning of the whole organism — people should start taking care of their teeth from the early childhood and dentists, who are far from being beloved by everybody and are often carelessly evaded, are called upon to help keep the teeth healthy.

AbstractHomelessness is present in most societies and represents a situation in which the basic needs for survival including food are often limited. It is logical to surmise that the homeless person’s diet is likely to be nutritionally deficient and yet there is a relative paucity in research regarding this issue with studies varying in both their methodology and homeless population. Despite these differences, diets of the homeless are frequently characterised as high in saturated fat and deficient in fibre and certain micronutrients, all of which can have negative implications for the homeless individual’s health and/or mental state. The conclusion from intervention studies is that there is no consensus as to the most effective method for assessing dietary intake. In order to address this, the present review aims to provide a greater understanding of the existing literature surrounding nutrition and the homeless and to act as a foundation from which further research can be conducted. An evaluation of the main findings and challenges surrounding the assessment of the nutritional status of the homeless will be provided followed by a review of the physical and mental consequences of the homeless diet. Current and potential interventions aimed at increasing the nutritional quality of food consumed by the homeless will be addressed with a focus on the role of the nutritional science community in assisting in this endeavour.

Clean dieting trends are increasingly spreading worldwide and being very popular. Researchers and clinicians are very interested in a situation (orthorexia nervosa) that individuals restrict their diet according to the quality of the food consumed. There are several similarities and differences between orthorexia nervosa and eating disorders. While patients with eating disorders focus on food quantity, orthorexic individuals focus on pure and quality of food. Orthorexia nervosa is not weight loss fast but enormous phobia about eating only ‘clean and pure’ foods. Orthorexia nervosa should be classified as a new eating disorder or at least a new neuropsychiatric disorder. Further studies about nutrional, cognitive, and eating habits of ON have to be done in order to determine clearly the hypercorrect position of orthorexia nervosa.

The investigation of feeding and egg production of the calanoid co pepod Temora stylifera was carried out between September and November 1988. The copepods were fed on natural ciliates and phytoplankton assemblage. Planktonic ciliates composed of 2.20 to 3.83 g C l -1 representing 15.2 to 58.7% of total biomass in standing stock. They were consumed by these copepods at rates ranging from 11.25 to 38.14 g C mg DW-1  d-1 or about 27.6 to 74.8% of total food consumed. The increase of ciliates/phytoplankton biomass ratio in the food consumed by the copepods in the all experiments indicates the preference for ciliates, in which as a good quality of food they can improve the rates of copepods egg production.


The quality of food is associated with a set of properties and characteristics that can be considered from its chemical and nutritional physical composition that have the ability to meet the needs of the consumer. The paper aims to evaluate the application of fuzzy logic in the evaluation and classification of the selection of pecans in the post harvest process using tests and instruments that determine their best quality. Fuzzy logic has proven to be very effective with matlab/simulink to develop and simulate the entire system, through an appropriate choice of rules and membership functions and applying the Mamdani method to defuzzification the results considering they are positive.
