A nutrition transition describes dietary and nutritional changes driven by economic, social, and demographic shifts ... The most common contemporary nutrition transition is from a diet of relatively diverse low-fat, low-salt, high-fiber foods acquired via physically intensive labor to a low-diversity, low-fiber diet of refined and processed foods high in calories, fat, salt, cholesterol, and sugar.
