This brief note underscores the negative consequences of food aid monotony to mealtime dynamics among war-affected internally displaced families. The article argues that this is rooted in an unethical food aid practice in which social work agencies naively dole out the same food items over a period of time. Caused by monotonic diets, the meal table witnesses poor family commensal activities. Social welfare services have to think ‘beyond the stomach’ and reinvent their food assistance. The article therefore contributes by addressing food aid issues within social work practice and social care policy and urges those responsible to do better.

超越胃的思考：解决流离失所环境中社会工作的粮食援助供应问题


这篇简短的说明强调了粮食援助单调对受战争影响的国内流离失所家庭的用餐时间动态的负面影响。文章认为，这根源于不道德的食品援助做法，即社会工作机构在一段时间内天真地分发相同的食品。由于饮食单调，餐桌上的家庭共餐活动很差。社会福利服务必须“超越胃口”并重新发明他们的食品援助。因此，本文通过解决社会工作实践和社会关怀政策中的粮食援助问题做出了贡献，并敦促负责人做得更好。
