Food menus evaluation for most liked products in children from Puna, region of Argentina

Food choice in low income populations – A review

“…The major observation obtained from the student's preferred menus was that the consumption of vegetables as a main course did not seem to be a problem as they liked to eat soups and mixed vegetables. Goldner et al (2013) attributed this to the limited access to food shops in the region where the student's lived; sustaining this conclusion with an article published by Timperio et al, 2008 who found that children in Australia who lived close to food outlets consumed less F&V.…”

“…The low status of Kolla foods should be understood in the context of society's negative attitudes towards Kolla culture in general. Goldner, Lescano, and Armada (2013) studied the menus of a Kolla population in the Province of Salta, Argentina. They performed their study with twenty 11-14 year-old students from LI households of a little rural village 3800 m above sea level.…”

Goldner et al (2013) asked students to draw their preferred menus, using these drawings to gain insight into menus consumed by their families and community. Asking participants in interviews to bring food-related photographs taken by them can be an interesting approach to get the ball rolling (Antin & Hunt, 2012); however, in a focus-group setting LI participants could feel that showing images of their food environment would probably be stigmatizing.…”

More than words! A narrative review of the use of the projective technique of word association in the studies of food consumer behavior: Methodological and theoretical implications

“…In most of the manuscripts analyzed, it was observed that the participants were over 18 years of age. However, given the versatility and ease of use of this technique, its use has been limited to understand the perceptions and behaviors in children or underage participants since only five manuscripts that use it were identified (Goldner et al, 2013;Olsen et al, 2015;Latorres et al, 2016;Martjin et al, 2015;Daltoé et al, 2017). In this context, it is recommended to extend the use of this qualitative tool to many sectors of the population, including children, to better understand their eating behaviors as opposed to answering more structured questionnaires.…”
