“…The profession of dietetics has worked hard to position itself as a scientific endeavor. With its roots in nursing and home-economics (Cassell, 1990), dietetics as a female-dominated profession has actively employed the language, protocols, and practices of biomedicine in order to acquire the recognition and status associated with "legitimate" health professions (Liquori, 2001). Inherent in this quest is the unquestioned adoption of the scientific method, which ensures that the findings of experimental studies are generalizable across settings, are the result of the intervention being studied (as opposed to chance), and are free from bias, particularly those imposed by researchers and other confounding variables (Bauer, 1992).…”

Two colleagues, Ann and Jacqui, came together, within the safety of an imagined actors' studio, to explore the challenges that Ann faced in planning a new graduate program in public health nutrition. They met before, during, and after program implementation to discuss Ann's experiences, and audio-taped and transcribed the discussions. When all three sessions had concluded, they reviewed the transcripts and discussed their insights further. In doing so, they drew upon the collaborative writing work of Wyatt, Gale, Gannon, and Davies, whose play featuring French theorist Gilles Deleuze, inspired Ann and Jacqui to consider what it meant to work together on this project. Of particular interest was the tension they encountered attempting to tell their stories in the first person narrative voice as well as their differing perspectives on the therapeutic sensibility of the discussions. Through this process, Ann and Jacqui gained insight into their educational practices and came to view dialogue as a valuable method of inquiry.

“…2). We were both familiar with Antoniou's (2004) paper and dietetic literature offering more conventional and critical perspectives of dietetic discourse (see DeVault, 1999;Gringras & Brady, 2010;Liquori, 2001;Travers, 1995), and thus did not review any additional literature specifically for the project prior to coming together to cook. For future projects, particularly if researcher-participants hail from more divergent backgrounds, it would be useful to circulate reading materials pertinent to the question or theme at hand at this stage to ground and further guide the dialogue and writing activities during the foodmaking session.…”

“…2). It should be said that some have offered critical perspectives of dietetics' epistemological and ontological orientation (Aphramor & Gingras, 2009; Buchanan, 2004; Gingras & Brady, 2010; Liquori, 2001; Travers, 1995), but this work has yet to be taken up more widely by practitioners or dietetics' professional organizations. Given the potential for dietitians to further social justice, we set out to unsettle and politicize dominant dietetic discourse.…”

Cooking as Inquiry: A Method to Stir Up Prevailing Ways of Knowing Food, Body, and Identity

The paper develops a method of research called 'cooking as inquiry.' This method seeks to add layers to the typically disembodied practices of social research that have long overlooked the body and the mundane rituals of foodmaking as sites of knowledge. Informed by autoethnography and collective biography, cooking as inquiry recognizes bodies and food as sites of knowledge and engages researchers as researcher-participants in reflexive, collaborative study that explores the ways in which the embodied self is performed relationally through foodmaking. In addition to a discussion of the epistemological and methodological frames of this method, this paper offers a case study that describes a project conducted by a colleague and the author.

“…The nutrition profession has shied away from talking about food intertwined with nurturance because of the "scientification" of food as nutrients and marketable products. 12 We need to increase our understanding of the significance of food, not purely in relation to nutrition value, but as an important quality of life issue. 13 Let me expand on Dr Timothy Lipman's JPEN editorial from a few years ago in which he described the "chicken soup paradigm, namely, healing through the provision of nutrients."…”

American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Presidential Address: Food for Thought: It's More Than Nutrition

Three issues were highlighted in the 30(th) Presidential Address to the society: (1) A.S.P.E.N.'s unique interdisciplinary structure; (2) support of the A.S.P.E.N. Rhoads Research Foundation; and (3) the meaning of food from the perspective of the patient who is receiving life-sustaining home enteral or parenteral nutrition. A.S.P.E.N., founded as a multidisciplinary society in the 1970s has evolved into an interdisciplinary society with an expanded and diverse membership of health care professionals and scientists with overlapping interests in clinical nutrition and metabolism. A.S.P.E.N. envisions an environment in which every patient receives safe, efficacious, and high quality patient care. The society is committed to advancing the science and practice of nutrition support therapy. In support of this direction, the A.S.P.E.N. Rhoads Research Foundation exists to fund research grants, promote evidence-based practice, and foster training and mentorship in nutrition and metabolic research. The scientific advances and technologic innovations that have enabled our profession to provide enteral and parenteral nutrition to patients has caused practitioners to forget that the meaning of food extends beyond nutrient value. Some individuals receiving long term enteral nutrition or home parenteral nutrition have expressed feelings of anger, anxiety, and depression resulting from the inability to eat normally, from losses of independence, and control of body functions. The ritual of eating may be altered when the enteral or intravenous feedings provide nourishment and, for some, the loss of the eating function is a distressing experience, especially given the cultural focus on social gatherings and meals. The emotional meaning attributed to food, and changes in food preferences and eating behaviors, may become a source of conflict for individuals who have substantial dietary restrictions, or for those individuals dependent on enteral or parenteral nutrition therapy. The value of food intake on social patterns, self-esteem, pleasure, and enjoyment, may impact quality of life. While nutrition support can provide the basic need for nutrients, its impact on human needs associated with food requires further investigation.
