The purpose of this formative, cross-sectional study was to describe independent eating occasions (iEOs) among a convenience sample of low-income early adolescents (10–13 years, n = 46) in 10 U.S. states, including environmental context, foods selected and reasons for selection, and parental rules about foods consumed. Participants took pictures of all foods consumed over 24 h and participated in semi-structured interviews to describe the context of each eating occasion using the pictures as a guide. Responses based on a total of 304 eating occasions were coded to classify foods based on United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) MyPlate food groups and to characterize parental rules and reasons for food selection. Average age was 10.9 ± 1.1 years and 60% were female. Approximately 58% of eating occasions were classified as iEOs with approximately 65% as snacks. Most iEOs took place at home. Foods frequently consumed during iEOs were from the sweets, total fruit, dairy, and whole fruit food categories. Primary parental rules for iEOs focused on avoiding certain foods and not eating too much. Early adolescents selected foods for convenience, taste preferences, and availability. Foods selected during iEOs were based on parent, household and early adolescent factors, which could be addressed to influence overall diet quality.

“…Meals are concentrated at culturally specific times of the day (Callejo and Díaz-Méndez, 2014) and in specific places (e.g. at home, at the dinner table, or in front of the television), even when people eat alone (Yates and Warde, 2017). After heated debate over the destructuration of eating, empirical evidence has accumulated showing that meal synchronisation across the day has remained stable over the last decades (Cheng et al, 2007;Holm et al, 2016;Lhuissier et al, 2013).…”

All practices are shared, but some more than others: Sharedness of social practices and time-use in food consumption

Even though we spend less and less time cooking and eating, food consumption remains a corner stone of the temporal organisation of everyday life. This paper is interested in how and to which extent food practices can be described as shared. We situate our investigation at the confluence of practice theories and the empirical analysis of time-use surveys. While qualitative research highlights the interrelations between many activities and agents necessary to consume food, quantitative data, such as time-use surveys, underscore the shared temporality of eating. We ask whether practices are shared beyond being socially recognised and mutually understandable forms of actions. Accordingly, we are interested in how some practices might be described as more shared than others, or shared in different ways? We identify three characteristics of sharedness: participation, commitment and temporal concentration. The latter is a key indicator of dispersed collective activity, inasmuch as participants engage in the practice in similar ways even without coordinating explicitly around it. We measure and compare the characteristics of sharedness by analysing the Dutch time-use survey 2011 (N = 2,005). Such an analysis offers empirical evidence for our characterisation of sharedness by mapping five food-related practices (eating a meal, snacking, cooking, shopping, and cleaning) onto five dimensions of temporality (duration, sequence, periodicity, synchronisation, and tempo). The characteristics of sharedness afford a systematic framework to analyse culture in dispersed collective activity. Our analysis also provides novel vistas to reflect upon power in shared practices by investigating their temporal concentration.

“…To, co się je, jak się łączy różne produkty, czy jada się z kimś (a jeśli tak, to z kim), czy też samotnie, gdzie spożywa się posiłek i w jakich godzinach -pełni funkcje symboliczne. Może wyrażać zarówno indywidualną tożsamość jednostki, jak i przynależność do grup społecznych [6,7,8]. Co więcej, może być związane ze zjawiskami socjologicznymi zachodzącymi w społeczeństwach rozwiniętych, takimi jak utowarowienie, globalizacja, indywidualizacja, postfordyzm, informalizacja, stylizacja i nowoplemienność [7].…”

Introduction: Nutrition belongs to the modifiable risk factors for diseases and is a topic of health education. Its change may be difficult because food is not only a physiological need but is also a part of lifestyle. Lifestyle is defined as a coherent whole, including the behaviour chosen by people to the extent that allows them their place in the social structure. Different dietary practices can create clusters that are components of different lifestyles. The aim of the analysis was to identify the nutritional styles of Poles and their socio-demographic determinants. Materials and methods: Data were acquired from a survey conducted on a nationwide representative sample (n = 1000) completed in 2016. Principal component analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed.Results: Three nutritional styles were identified: "careless", "healthy" and "traditional". The "careless" style is typical for men, younger people and those living in larger households. It is rarely typical of professionals and managers, or pupils and students, retirees and pensioners, and residents of the smallest cities. The "healthy" style is mostly characteristic of women, those with tertiary and secondary education, students and entrepreneurs. The "traditional" style is more frequent among younger people living in smaller households, with secondary and vocational education, as well as residents of cities with a population from 50 to 200 thousand. Conclusions: The analysis indicated the existence of nutritional styles associated with position in the social structure, and this should be considered in health education related to nutrition.
