SOCIAL NORMS, AND DIETARY BEHAVIORS AMONG COLLEGE-ATTENDING WOMEN.

American Journal of Health Behavior, 43(1), 23-36.

because it examines self-perception of race and how that can impact behavior in ways that

influence one's health in the future.

 Addendum
Text 1. Reading
Actually, I’d prefer it if the wolf was kept from my door
by Catherine Bennet. (Published in The Guardian, 1 October 2017)
A
For anyone raised on the Grimms’ fairytales – or wary of cows and hostile-looking
geese– there have always been certain obvious difficulties with ambitious rewilding*₁
campaigns. Reintroducing beavers is one thing. Boars: maybe. But among the more
appealing aspects of life in Britain, for the nervous, is the relative certainty of never
encountering a wolf pack.
B
Recent celebrations over the return of these predators to the outskirts of Rome attest,
however, to the huge success of rewilders, within a couple of decades, in dispelling
this sort of unsubstantiated, if ancient, anti-wolf sentiment. Far from representing
a threat to humans, wolf supporters now insist the creatures are shy, peaceable
types, much less aggressive towards us than dogs – no great surprise, really,
given the numerical difference, but you get the point.
C
If there is any substance to French farmers’ complaints that wolves keep killing their sheep, this
would probably, to many sheep-hating conservationists, seem an excellent way of getting rid of
them. As for killing UK deer, which have only human predators, this culling*₂ would be doing us,
if not the deer, a favour by doing our job for us. European wolf fans, such as the Dutch ecologist, Leo
Linnartz, sound amused by our timidity. ‘We have wolves coming into the Netherlands again and
we are much, much smaller than Britain. If the Dutch can do it, everybody can do it.’
D
Expanding on the benefits of wolves, which he hopes shortly to reintroduce in the UK,
Peter Smith of Britain’s Wildwood Trust said recently: ‘There are wolves all over Europe and they don’t
cause problems. When was the last time you heard of someone being killed by a wolf?’
It seems improbable, however, that the scheme will be abandoned even if a Greek coroner is
confirmed in his theory that an attack by wolves caused the death of the British academic,
Celia Hollingworth. If rewilding is designed, as its exponents believe, to be more natural than
what it replaces, that can hardly be achieved by desiring animals to suppress their instincts.
And if something is guaranteed 100 per cent safe, it can’t really be called rewilding, can it?

7
To the extreme rewilder, some loss of human life could be a price worth paying. Excitement about
reintroducing risk to tame landscapes seems integral to grander strategies for rewilding.
To the annoyance of its more glamorous exponents, the term now embraces the restoration
of anything from vegetation to mammoths.
E
Before long, in fact, some new words may be needed to distinguish humbler conservation-minded
projects, featuring, say, reed beds, from bolder proposals, such as those advanced by George
Monbiot, author of the widely admired Feral. He dreams, he writes, of us ‘standing back’ from the
land, after removing man-made interventions, ‘reintroducing missing animals’ and culling
along the way, ‘a few particularly invasive introduced species. It’s about abandoning
the doctrine of dominion*₃ which has governed our relationship with the natural world.
F
The consequences of this updated form of dominion are not easy to predict as some
biologists have warned. The authors of Rewilding is the new Pandora’s box in conservation
(Current Biology, 2016) advocate, as a corrective to the ‘drumbeat’ now advancing all kinds of
rewilding approaches, “caution and an increased understanding and awareness of what is unknown about
rewilding and what its potential outputs, especially ecological consequences, might be.”
G
As with the craze for fang sheng*₄, the mercy release of animals, which recently led to hundreds of
crabs and lobsters being dropped into the sea off Brighton, UK, the best attempts by humans to
reverse previous dominion can translate into disaster and, in that case, £15000 ($20 000) in fines
for two well-meaning Buddhists.
H
But from what Monbiot has written, and the response to it, some vagueness around
restoring nature only adds to its attraction. “The wonderful thing about rewilding,” he w r o t e
“is that you don’t know where it’s going to go … the way ecosystems evolve once missing species
are introduced and we stop trying to control them is delightfully unpredictable.”
I
‘We arose in a thrilling, terrible world,’ Monbiot writes, in a tone that suggests mere
Wolf re-introduction is insufficient. Not when the naturalist and broadcaster, David Attenborough
once described wolves as ‘gentle and very loyal creatures, whose sole purpose is to survive and
look after each other’.

8
J
As a recreational walker, I can barely express how grateful I am to inhabit, instead, a
landscape dominated by the labradoodle dog. Still, the soaring interest in importing
wolves and bears suggests that Monbiot’s ‘smouldering longing for a richer and rawer life than the
one I lead’ is widely shared.

Footnotes
*1 Returning land to a wilder and more natural state through the reintroduction of native species.
*2 reducing the size of herds through hunting or slaughter
*3 The idea of human supremacy over nature.
*4 fang = to release, sheng = living creatures
