“…In Chile as in other Latin American countries, eating away has been increasing in the past decades although the quality of the food purchased varies significantly depending on the socioeconomic classes. In Brazil, it has been reported that people of the highest income levels present the highest expenditure on out-of-home food ( 47 ). During the COVID-19 lockdown, there is evidence that families from higher educational levels and higher income were the ones that most frequently used digital channels to access food ( 48 ).…”

IntroductionFood access is associated with dietary quality; however, people living in similar physical environments can have different food access profiles. Domestic environments may also influence how food access relates to dietary quality. We studied food access profiles of 999 low-middle income Chilean families with children during the COVID-19 lockdown and how these profiles relate to dietary quality; secondarily, we also explore the role of the domestic environment in this relationship.Materials and methodsParticipants of two longitudinal studies conducted in the southeast of Santiago, Chile, answered online surveys at the beginning and end of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Food access profiles were developed by a latent class analysis considering food outlets and government food transfers. Children's dietary quality was estimated by self-reported compliance with the Chilean Dietary Guidelines of Americans (DGA) and daily ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption. Logistic and linear regressions were used to assess the association between food access profiles and dietary quality. Domestic environment data (i.e., the sex of the person who buys food and cooks, meal frequency, cooking skills, etc.) were incorporated in the models to assess their influence on the relationship between food access and dietary quality.ResultsWe have categorized three food access profiles: Classic (70.2%), Multiple (17.9%), and Supermarket-Restaurant (11.9%). Households led by women are concentrated in the Multiple profile, while families from higher income or education levels are focused on the Supermarket-Restaurant profile. On average, children presented poor dietary quality, with a high daily UPF consumption (median = 4.4; IQR: 3) and low compliance with national DGA recommendations (median = 1.2; IQR: 2). Except for the fish recommendation (OR = 1.77, 95% CI:1.00–3.12; p: 0.048 for the Supermarket-Restaurant profile), the food access profiles were poorly associated with children's dietary quality. However, further analyses showed that domestic environment variables related to routine and time use influenced the association between food access profiles and dietary quality.ConclusionIn a sample of low-middle income Chilean families, we identified three different food access profiles that presented a socioeconomic gradient; however, these profiles did not significantly explain children's dietary quality. Studies diving deeper into household dynamics might give us some clues on intra-household behaviors and roles that could be influencing how food access relates to dietary quality.

“…Many studies have examined various attributes of AFHF, such as nutrition, economy, safety, and social issues. However, environmental sustainability is still in its early stage of research and has received insufficient attention from governments [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Our hypothesis is that AFHF consumption increases the carbon footprint of the diet.…”

Environmentally unsustainable diets are often characterized by being high in calories, processed foods, and red meats, characteristics related to away-from-home food (AFHF). The aim of this study is to evaluate if AFHF consumption is related to environmental sustainability. Data of 20,780 adults from 24 h recalls collected in the 2017–2018 Brazilian National Dietary Survey (NDS) were used to estimate carbon footprint coefficients. The mean carbon footprint was estimated among individuals who consumed AFHF and non-consumers. Linear regression models were used to evaluate differences between away-from-home eating and the carbon footprint of the diet, adjusting for age and income. A total of 41% of Brazilians consumed AFHF during the previous day. The mean carbon footprint from foods consumed away from home represented 18% of the total carbon footprint. AFHF was positively associated with increased total carbon footprint (β: 204.1; p-value: 0.0145). In conclusion, the consumption of foods away from home in urban areas of Brazil was associated with atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions independently of age and income. Away-from-home food consumption should be considered to reinforce the influence of diet on individual and planet health.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the probability of spending on food consumed outside the home in families with and without adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, developed with the report from the National Household Survey (ENAHO) of Peru for the year 2021. Households selected from the database included those with an adolescent and without an adolescent in its composition and who made expenditures on food consumed away from home. Households were selected according to number of household members, place of origin, sex of the self-reported head of the household, ethnicity, educational attainment, marital status of the head of the household, age of the head of the household, and according to the poverty variable. Results: Households with adolescents and without adolescents spend monthly in Food away from home [Peruvian Soles (USD), SD]; [216.1 (57.17), 3.82] and [159.1 (42.10), 2.94] respectively. The average expenditure (Peruvian Soles) on food consumed away from home according to the poverty variable (extreme poor, poor and non-poor) in households with the presence of adolescents was (46.28, 118.89, 258.33), respectively. This expenditure in Food away from home is higher when comparing it to households without adolescents. Therefore, there is a significant expenditure in Food away from home in households with adolescents. Conclusions: It is important to create a culture for purchasing food that does not harm health. Keywords: food, expenditure, adolescents, ENAHO, poverty.
