Description

Explore the complex relationship between children and food through this academic study from Routledge. This book brings together recent UK studies to examine how children experience and practice food consumption across various environments. It moves beyond the idea of food as simple sustenance, looking at how it functions on a symbolic level to represent thoughts, feelings, and human relationships. The text examines three primary settings: schools, families, and care environments, including residential homes and foster care. By analyzing these different contexts, the book demonstrates how both children and adults utilize food in their daily lives. It provides a detailed look at how food serves as a tool for caregiving and how it shapes social interactions within these essential institutions. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sociology, policy, and child development.
