“…and food at an individual level, social level, environmental level, and societal level (Jenkins & Horner, 2005; Martins et al, 2015; Shepherd et al, 2005; Spencer, Rehman, & Kirk, 2015; Stevenson, Doherty, Barnett, Muldoon, & Trew, 2007). However, the majority of previous studies has been conducted in the US and the UK (e.g., Krølner et al, 2011; Martins et al, 2015; Shepherd et al, 2005; Spencer et al, 2015), and relatively few have focused on the voices of children and adolescents from multicultural communities with low S.E.S.…”

This period can often come with heightened stress and anxiety levels.…”

“…Food choices are driven by a combination of individual factors, social influences (networks of family and peers), physical environments (home, school, after-school programs, and neighbourhood) and macro-level environment (cultural, economic and political factors) [35,71,74,77,[80][81][82][83][84]. The term "foodscapes", originally used in geography, encapsulates these interactions well.…”
