Currently, she is making revisions on her first book Animal Farms, a study of the industrialization of Soviet agricultural and its impact on the environment and national diet. Smith shared an insight about Russian attitudes toward food; food scarcity is fresh in the minds of modern Russians so their view of diet is the inverse of the west - in Russia, fat is good. Food advertisements tout high fat-sugar dense foods as beneficial. Smith recently published a paper on one of Russia\u0027s favorite health foods \u0022\u0022 ice cream \u0022\u0022 citing a dairy technologist who wrote that ice cream \u0022is a healthy and delicious food...and should be included in the menu at breakfast, lunch and dinner.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Assistant Professor, Jenny Leigh Smith, joined the School of History, Technology, and Society in Spring 2009 bringing to Georgia Tech its first undergraduate classes in Russian history.
