SCENARIO A

Anthropologists have studied the role of quinoa (ancient grain) in the culture of Bolivia. The researchers interviewed people about how frequently they ate quinoa, where they ate it (at home or in restaurants), and during what time of day they ate it. The researchers also asked people about how they prepare quinoa, where they obtain quinoa products, and any beliefs they might have about the quinoa (such as their nutritional value). The data were used to assess the role of quinoa in the culture. The researchers also considered how this relates to global quinoa consumption patterns.
