“…The themes that emerged from the analysis to answer Research Question 2 were factors for eating healthy such as good taste, recipe availability, low cost for healthy ingredients, accessibility of the ingredients, substitutions of herbs and spices, and food waste. The results of this study confirmed the findings from Jurkowski et al 2014and Lee and Lien (2015) that the main factor that influences obese AA women to continue to prepare and consume traditional soul food is the taste.

The obesity epidemic continues to be a major concern in the United States. The World Health Organization reported that 1.4 billion adults were either obese or overweight African American (AA) women have the highest incidence of obesity worldwide. A qualitative descriptive study was used to explore the perceptions of obese AA women about altering how they prepare soul food to make it healthier. The empowerment model and the health belief model were used to frame this study. Data were collected using a nonprobability purposeful sampling strategy. The sample for this study consisted of four focus groups with six to seven obese AA women ages 21–90 who prepared and consumed high-calorie soul foods and had a body mass index ³30. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using a constant comparative analysis. It was found that obese AA women were willing to alter their traditional soul food preparation only if it tastes good, recipes are available, it is cost effective, and it produces minimum food waste. Barriers that could limit participation in an intervention as well as recommendations for designing interventions are discussed.

Children are important asset for a country’s future and development. Their health and well-being matter in determining their productivity in the future. However, obesity rates amongst children in Indonesia is on the rise. Ministry of Health in Indonesia reported the highest national prevalence of obesity occurred in children aged 5-12 years (18.8%), followed by groups 13-15 years (10.8 %), and 16-18 years (7.3%). Obesity itself is caused by increased intake of sugar and fat that are mostly found in prepared food and junk food as well as low physical activity. Accordingly, prepared food consumption is on the rise as well due to the modern fast-paced lives these days. Using data from Indonesian Family Life Survey wave 5, this paper aims to find association between family’s characteristics and children’s health status. The result shows economic class have no significant effect on children’s health status. On the other hand, mother’s years of schooling, mother’s health, fast food consumption and father’s smoking behaviour have a significant association on children’s health. The outcome of mother’s well-being give positive effect on children’s health since they are traditionally the caregiver of the family, hence with better well-being, they are able to create better environment for the children.
