Chinese consumers’ perceptions of immune health and immune-boosting remedies including functional foods

“…A previous study in Belgium showed that working households were less likely to spend time on cooking than non-working households (Daniels & Glorieux, 2015), a finding which is likely to reflect the situation in China. Owing to China's rapid socioeconomic development, people's eating patterns have been fundamentally changed (Yu, Veeck, & Yu, 2015). In many Chinese cities, especially a metropolis such as Shanghai, people have become accustomed to working or studying for many hours a day (Han, 2018).…”

Ritual Keluarga sebagai Diskriminan Keberfungsian Keluarga

“…Aktivitas makan bersama keluarga digambarkan sebagai suatu aktivitas di mana seluruh anggota keluarga berkumpul dan duduk bersama di meja makan untuk makan bersama, di mana hal itu terutama ditandai oleh adanya percakapan yang intim selama aktivitas tersebut berlangsung (Cinotto, 2006). Waktu makan dikatakan menjadi kesempatan bagi anggota keluarga untuk bersama di tengah kesibukan sepanjang hari masing-masing anggota keluarga (Hamilton & Wilson, 2009) yang memberikan individu perasaan sebagai satu keluarga (family identity) (Evans & Rodger, 2008;Yu, Veeck, & Yu, 2015). Kebersamaan dan percakapan intim yang terjadi selama waktu makan dapat memberikan efek rekreasional bagi anggota keluarga, berupa perasaan senang, bahagia, dan positif (Evans & Rodger, 2008).…”
