With dual-working households now the norm, Food, Families and Work
is the first comprehensive study to explore how families negotiate
everyday food practices in the context of paid employment. As the
working hours of British parents are among the highest in Europe,
the United Kingdom provides a key case study for investigating the
relationship between parental employment and family food practices.
Focusing on issues such as the gender division of foodwork, the
impact of family income on diet, family meals, and the power
children wield over the food they eat, the book offers a
longitudinal view of family routines. It explores how the everyday
meanings of food change as children grow older and negotiate
changes in their own lives and those of their family members.
Drawing on extensive quantitative data from large-scale surveys of
food and diet - as well as qualitative evidence - to emphasise the
larger global context of social and economic change and shifting
patterns of family life, Rebecca O'Connell and Julia Brannen
present a holistic overview of food practices within busy
contemporary family lives. Featuring perspectives from both parents
and children, this innovative approach to some of the most
hotly-debated topics in food studies is a must-read for students
and scholars in food studies, sociology, anthropology, nutrition
and public health.
