The chapters in this volume concentrate on the mundane and ordinary
eating practices of the everyday, showing how these are linked to
change in modern society. The contributors present a collection of
systematic empirical results from a unique study based on
representative samples of four Nordic populations - Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Sweden - conducted at two time points, 15 years
apart. The results of this unprecedented longitudinal survey leads
the contributors to question many commonly held beliefs about the
presumed and feared collapse of the traditional eating habits,
family meals, and regular meal patterns. As the social organization
of eating is in many ways related to developments in other social
institutions such as family, education, and work, chapters provide
interesting insights into contemporary society, with key topics
selected for scrutiny including gender, food types, diet and
health, and cooking practices. Additionally, the chapters highlight
changes in the gendering of food practices and signs of increasing
informality around meals.
