“…This is reflected in statements that it is 'wrong or bad' to waste food (Evans, 2011b;Ganglbauer et al, 2013;Graham-Rowe et al, 2014;Quested et al, 2013). Some consumers also associate food waste with emotions of 'disgust ' (Radzyminska et al, 2016;Waitt and Phillips, 2016;Watson and Meah, 2012), 'hate' (Waitt and Phillips, 2016), 'frustration' or 'annoyance' (Graham-Rowe et al, 2014), and 'anxiety' (Evans, 2011a;Graham-Rowe et al, 2014). In addition, a high sense of guilt about throwing away food is expressed by the majority of households (Ganglbauer et al, 2013;Grandhi and Appaiah Singh, 2016;Parizeau et al, 2015;Pearson et al, 2016;Qi and Roe, 2016;Quested et al, 2013;Stefan et al, 2013).…”

“…During processes of ordering and disposal, food items can be re-examined, re-experienced, and re-valued, e.g. to be used for a meal, replaced within the place of storage, or moved out of it (Waitt and Phillips, 2016). Thus, ordering practices can enhance visibility and prevent forgetting food that is hidden in the back of the refrigerator or cupboard.…”

“…systematic stacking of newer and older foods, or according to frequency of use) in combination with periodic re-ordering can lower food waste generation (Farr-Wharton et al, 2014;Waitt and Phillips, 2016). During processes of ordering and disposal, food items can be re-examined, re-experienced, and re-valued, e.g.…”

“…It is reasonable to 25 expect this greater effect to be the result of a greater fit between the story object and the story-receivers. Prior research already suggests that fridges evoke significant affective responses in consumers because they contain food (which evoke emotions in turn), are used several times each day, form an important part of making home, and are often family heirlooms with a history (Waitt and Phillips, 2016).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Purpose This paper presents a study using encephalography (EEG) to investigate consumer responses to narrative videos in energy efficiency social marketing. The purpose is to assess the role of attention, working memory, emotion, and imagination in narrative transportation, and how these stages of narrative transportation are ordered temporally. Permanent repository linkDesign/methodology/approach Consumers took part in an EEG experiment during which they were shown four different narrative videos to identify brain response during specific video segments. FindingsThe study found that during the opening segment of the videos, attention, working memory, and emotion were high before attenuating with some introspection at the end of this segment. During the story segment of the videos attention, working memory, and emotion were also high, with attention decreasing later on but working memory, emotion, and imagination being evident. Consumer responses to each of the four videos differed. Practical implicationsThe study suggests that narratives can be a useful approach in energy efficiency social marketing. Specifically, marketers should attempt to gain focused attention and invoke emotional responses, working memory, and imagination to help consumers become narratively transported. The fit between story object and story-receiver should also be considered when creating consumer narratives. Social implicationsPolicy makers, and organisations who wish to promote pro-social behaviours such as using energy efficiently, or eating healthily should consider using narratives.Originality/value This research contributes to theory by identifying brain response relating to attention, working memory, emotion, and imagination during specific stages of narrative transportation. The study considers the role of attention, emotion, working memory, and imagination during reception of stories with different objects, and how these may relate to consumers' narrative transportation.

“…Through embodied human practices and material processes, 'things' are transformed into 'food' [15]. Some research has detailed how food also becomes 'unmade' through embodied daily household practices involving interaction with modern technology (such as refrigeration) [18]. Nonetheless, the symbolic aspects of food non-consumption-or food waste-is increasingly of interest [19].…”

Food waste is a global issue with serious economic and environmental implications. Although a number of psychosocial and cultural factors have been identified, little attention has been paid to how food waste is culturally presented, circulated, and mediated. In this exploratory study, we consider how food waste is presented in the thriving genre of reality food television. Specifically, we conducted a content and discourse analysis of UK television programme, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (RKN). We found that visual and discursive references to food waste are associated with business, food, and personal incompetency in RKN. Furthermore, food handling was constructed as a moral issue. In RKN, food waste is not resolved via specific educational interventions for food waste prevention, but through attention to broader personal, business, and food incompetencies, which are value-laden and morally relevant. We discuss the symbolic dimensions of the transformation of food into food waste by drawing on Mary Douglas' ideas of matter out of place. We suggest that food waste research and behavior change could benefit from addressing personal, professional, and moral competencies which may not be directly related to food, but which may reduce food waste. Our analysis of food waste in a televised environment extends waste research in specific geographical locations and spatial contexts.
