This book examines the many roles of families in their members'
food access, preferences, and consumption. It provides an overview
of factors - from micro- to macro-levels - that have been linked to
food insecurity and discusses policy approaches to reducing food
insecurity and hunger. In addition, it addresses the links between
food insecurity and overweight and obesity. The book describes
changes in the U.S. food environment that may explain increases in
obesity during recent decades. It explores relationships between
parenting practices and the development of eating behaviors in
children, highlighting the importance of family mealtimes in
healthful eating. The volume provides an overview of efforts to
prevent or reduce obesity in children, with attention to minority
populations and discusses research findings on targets for obesity
prevention, including a focus on fathers as change agents who play
a crucial, yet understudied, role in food parenting. The book
acknowledges that with the current obesigenic environment in the
United States and elsewhere around the world, additional and
innovative efforts are needed to foster healthful eating behavior
and orientations toward food in childhood and in families. This
book is a must-have resource for researchers, professors,
clinicians, professionals, and graduate students in developmental
psychology, family studies, public health as well as numerous
interrelated disciplines, including sociology, demography, social
work, prevention science, educational policy, political science,
and economics.
