“…By trying out and evaluating new ways of shopping, cooking, and eating, people discover new strategies and revise their scripts [17,56]. The routines people develop for food behaviors often provide structure for their daily schedules and the people that they may care for [17,82].…”

“…In summary, people need the time, energy, and social support from others as they work to incorporate healthy food behaviors into their existing lives. The techniques that we have used to illustrate peoples' scripts and routines may be useful in practice [17,82].…”

“…Scripts include expectations about the situation as well as plans for acting in that situation and the specific sequences of behavior that they will enact [82]. Scripts and strategies that work well become routines for food choice because as the "best-fit solutions," they provide predictability and comfort [17].…”

“…Given that responsibility for family food decisions and preparation is still highly feminised in contemporary society (Bava, Jaeger, & Park, 2008;Bellows, Alcaraz V, & Hallman, 2010;Blake, Bisogni, Sobal, Jastran, & Devine, 2008;De Backer, 2011;Lupton, 2000), it is not surprising that women played important roles in couple food leadership. Likewise because men's leadership in food provision is not typically framed as masculine (McPhail, Chapman, & Beagan, 2011;Newcombe, McCarthy, Cronin, & McCarthy, 2012) it is not surprising that the men in this study needed to find such ways to legitimise their increased food involvement.…”

Nutrition plays an important role in the health of men diagnosed with prostate cancer and dietary interventions can therefore be a significant part of prostate cancer survivorship supportive care. Family food provision, however, involves complex social interactions, which shape how men engage with their diets and dietary interventions. The role that gender plays in shaping prostate cancer couples' food practices and men's diets after a prostate cancer diagnosis is thought to be important but is little understood.This study explored couples' accounts of nutrition information seeking and diet change to gain a better understanding of how gender relations shaped men's food practices after prostate cancer diagnosis. Qualitative health interviews with men and their partners were conducted and analysed using interpretive descriptive methods.Findings demonstrated how couples navigated food change journeys that involved seeking information, deciding what changes were warranted and implementing and regulating diet changes. Two overarching themes that illustrated couples' food negotiations were called 'Seeking information and deciding on food changes' and 'Monitoring food changes'. Additional sub--themes described who led food changes, women's filtering of information, and moderation or 'treats'. Throughout these food change journeys interactions between men and women were at play, demonstrating how gender relations and dynamics acted to shape couples food negotiations and men's food practices.Findings reveal that attention to gender relations and the men's family food dynamics should inform diet interventions for men with prostate cancer in order to improve uptake.

“…Blake, Bisogni, Sobal, Jastran, & Devine, 2008;NHANES, 2008). The few exceptions include a study that found that consuming salad as a starter resulted in increased vegetable consumption in adults (Roe, Meengs, & Rolls, 2012) and another study that showed that serving 3-5 year old children vegetable soup as a starter increased overall vegetable consumption and reduced intake of fatty foods (Spill, Birch, Roe, & Rolls, 2011).…”

Eating fruits and vegetables. An ethnographic study of American and French family dinners

et al. 2015

The French eat more fruits and vegetables than Americans and have lower rates of childhood obesity. This ethnographic study compares various aspects of meal environment in sixteen households in LA, California and Paris, France, and offers insights on the relationship between local practices and preferences and children's consumption of fruits and vegetables. Our analysis of video-recorded naturalist data reveals that the consumption of fruits and vegetables is linked to the cultural organization of dinner--what, when and how food is served--and to local beliefs about children's eating practices. We also found that the French model for dinnertime prioritizes the eating of fruits and vegetables more than the American model does. We propose that local eating models should be taken into account in research on childhood obesity and in prevention programs.
