Abstract: This study summarizes information on diet and living patterns for
the Marshallese. The data was derived from literature, answers to
questionnaires, personal observations while living with the Marshallese
for periods extending from months to years, and from direct
participation in their activities. The results reflect the complex
interactions of many influences, such as, the gathering of local foods
the receipt of food aid through programs, such as, school-lunch,

typhoon-relief,

food. distributed to populations displaced as a result

of nuclear testing, and in recent times the availability of cash for
the purchase of imported foods. The results identify these influences
and are therefore restricted to local food diets while recognizing that
the living patterns are changing as local food gathering is replaced by
other food supplies. The data will therefore provide the necessary
information for input into models that will assess the radiological
impacts attributable to the inhabitation of the Marshall Islands. It is
recommended that this study should be continued for at least two to
three years in order to more accurately identify trends in local food
consumption and living patterns.;
