Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's food choices have long been assumed to be almost entirely driven by hedonics. Children are biologically driven to like tastes associated with high-energy foods but dislike bitter tastes often associated with nutrient dense foods. Better understanding of the relationship between food liking and intake and identifying parental influences on food liking and intake may help efforts to improve children's diet quality. To clarify the relationship between food liking and intake we determined correlations between children's food liking and intake in a cross-sectional, laboratory-based study of the strength of the relationship between liking and intake. In this study, 58 young children (mean: 5.44 +/- 0.8 years) attended two sessions in which they tasted and rated their liking of 7 foods and 2 beverages before eating self-selected, ad libitum test-meals. We found that the relationship between children's food liking and intake is more complexthan previous work and common assumptions indicate. Liking and intake of some foods were correlated, but overall, children's liking ratings did not significantly predict test meal intake. Mean liking and mean intake of low energy density foods (grapes, tomatoes, and broccoli) were moderately correlated (rho=0.28 p=0.03), but no significant relationship was found between mean liking and mean intake of high energy density foods (p=0.72). Contrary to our expectations, no relationship was found between combined liking scores for all test meal items and total meal intake (p=0.72). Moderation analysis showed that the relationship between food liking and intake is influenced by sex (p=0.004), parental work status (p=0.041), and child weight status (p=0.007), with significant high energy density food liking/intake relationships among girls (r=0.46, p=0.02) but not boys (p=0.14) as well as among children with stay-at-home parents(r=-0.46, p=0.02) but not children of working parents (p=0.60). Liking predicted low energy density food intake among overweight/obese children (r= 0.76, p= 0.01), but not among lower weight children (p=0.99). These data suggest that food liking may not positively predict intake in all situations, but that in certain situations, food liking is a strong predictor of intake.Results of exploratory analyses indicate that children's independent food choices mightbe associated with their parents' food-related behaviors. Our findings suggest a negative relationship between time spent on food preparation and test meal food energy density using both correlation analysis (r= -0.35, p= 0.01) and group-wise comparison using one-way ANOVA (F (2,55) = 4.557, p = 0.015). Our findings suggest that children's eating behavior is more complex than previous work and common assumptions indicate, and further research is needed to clarify influences on children's eating behavior including the relationship between food liking and intake.
Download or read book Social Influences on Eating written by C. Peter Herman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the social environment affects food choices and intake, and documents the extent to which people are unaware of the significant impact of social factors on their eating. The authors take a unique approach to studying eating behaviors in ordinary circumstances, presenting a theory of normal eating that highlights social influences independent of physiological and taste factors. Among the topics discussed: Modeling of food intake and food choice Consumption stereotypes and impression management Research design, methodology, and ethics of studying eating behaviors What happens when we overeat? Effects of social eating Social Influences on Eating is a useful reference for psychologists and researchers studying food and nutritional psychology, challenging commonly held assumptions about the dynamics of food choice and intake in order to promote a better understanding of the power of social influence on all forms of behavior.

Download or read book Effects of Health Claims on Consumption and Taste in Children written by Alessandro Tirelli and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on adults has shown that when certain energy dense foods (EDF) are marketed as 'healthy', consumption of these foods increases during a single eating occasion. However, the effect health claims can have on consumption and taste in pre-adolescent children is largely unknown. The main objective of this thesis was to examine how health claims influence energy intake (EI) and liking in pre-adolescent children. A between-subject experimental design was used, whereby 66 participants (34 girls and 32 boys, mean ± SD age: 10.5 ± 1.4 years), consumed a chocolate milkshake while watching specific videos on YouTube ® for 20 minutes. The participants were randomly assigned in equal numbers split into one of two groups. For one group (control), no label was added and nothing was said about the milkshake. In the experimental (health claim) group, the milkshakes were labeled and presented as "high in calcium, and healthy". The primary outcomes were EI and liking of the milkshake, while appetite sensations were also assessed using visual analogue scales (VAS). Results from Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) indicate that compared to the same shake without a health claim, a chocolate milkshake that was advertised as healthy was perceived as healthier, although there was no effect on EI or taste. When sex was investigated, boys consumed significantly more calories than girls when the milkshake was advertised as healthy. The higher EI from boys in the 'healthy' condition suggests a health claim may elicit different food consumption behaviors between sexes. In addition, the participants from the experimental (healthy) group who rated the milkshake as highly healthy consumed significantly more calories than those from the same group who only rated the milkshake moderately healthy. Further research is needed to better determine the effects of different health claims on children's taste and EI, and to corroborate these initial findings and examine the underlying reasons for the observed sex differences.
Download or read book Food Literacy written by Helen Vidgen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

Download or read book Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-10 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of childhood obesity is so high in the United States that it may reduce the life expectancy of today's generation of children. While parents and other adult caregivers play a fundamental role in teaching children about healthy behaviors, even the most positive efforts can be undermined by local environments that are poorly suited to supporting healthy behaviors. For example, many communities lack ready sources of healthy food choices, such as supermarkets and grocery stores. Or they may not provide safe places for children to walk or play. In such communities, even the most motivated child or adolescent may find it difficult to act in healthy ways. Local governments-with jurisdiction over many aspects of land use, food marketing, community planning, transportation, health and nutrition programs, and other community issues-are ideally positioned to promote behaviors that will help children and adolescents reach and maintain healthy weights. Local Government Actions to Prevent Childhood Obesity presents a number of recommendations that touch on the vital role of government actions on all levels-federal, state, and local-in childhood obesity prevention. The book offers healthy eating and physical activity strategies for local governments to consider, making it an excellent resource for mayors, managers, commissioners, council members, county board members, and administrators.
Download or read book Handbook of Behavior Food and Nutrition written by Victor R. Preedy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 3527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book disseminates current information pertaining to the modulatory effects of foods and other food substances on behavior and neurological pathways and, importantly, vice versa. This ranges from the neuroendocrine control of eating to the effects of life-threatening disease on eating behavior. The importance of this contribution to the scientific literature lies in the fact that food and eating are an essential component of cultural heritage but the effects of perturbations in the food/cognitive axis can be profound. The complex interrelationship between neuropsychological processing, diet, and behavioral outcome is explored within the context of the most contemporary psychobiological research in the area. This comprehensive psychobiology- and pathology-themed text examines the broad spectrum of diet, behavioral, and neuropsychological interactions from normative function to occurrences of severe and enduring psychopathological processes.
Download or read book Food Texturology Measurement and Perception of Food Textural Properties written by Andrew Rosenthal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-21 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept behind this book is to take a holistic view of food texture, starting with the determination of food texture, its perception in the mouth, and its measurement by both sensory and instrumental methods, and to examine the relation between them. The book has been divided into four sections: Fundamentals, Sensory and Human Interactions, Instrumental Analysis, and Food Products. Essentially we cover the techniques used for measuring food texture, and then apply them to the different product groups. Readers of the first edition will notice the title has changed, with the adoption of the term texturology. In the long history of food texture research, texturology has been occasionally used in literature. The term texturology has not been widely accepted by texture researchers (texturologists) because of their concern over whether the theories and techniques are broad and strong enough to support texture research as a scientific discipline. During the 24 years since the publication of the first edition, the editors have observed vast developments in theories as well as the assessment methodology of food texture (both sensory and instrumental) and these have shaped our understanding. This second edition brings the science up to date by introducing topics not previously covered (e.g. psychophysics, tribology, oral processing, texture maps and special foods for dysphagia patients). It includes an exposé of the instruments to measure food texture, and also considers techniques for measuring consumer perception of food texture (in addition to the sensory properties). Additionally, it amends omissions from the first edition such as dairy products; fish; bakery products; and, sugar confectionery, asproduct groups. All in all it is expanded and updated in its coverage of food texturology, as a coherent scientific discipline.
