Description
The relationship between families and food is high on the current political agenda, the subject of enormous media attention and the focus of intense emotional investment.
With debates about the quality of school meals, high-profile attempts to improve people's cooking skills and widespread concern about growing obesity rates, there has never been a more urgent need to reassess the family context which shapes our everyday lives, including decisions about 'healthy eating'.
Changing Families, Changing Food addresses these key concerns, adopting an inter-disciplinary perspective.
Approaching family through the lens of food, this book provides a new perspective on the diversity of contemporary family.
It challenges many received ideas including the decline of the family meal, the individualisation of food choice and the relationship between professional advice on healthy eating and the everyday practices of 'doing family'.
