Abstract
This work considers the construction of children's food and children's eating practices, in the narratives of children, aged 11–12, and their parents, and explores what these constructions reveal about child–adult relations and the nature of family life. It argues that, implicit to the differentiation of children's and adult's food and eating practices within families are generationally nuanced food moralities. We suggest that the day-to-day, ongoing negotiation and management of these generationally nuanced food moralities is integral to the constitution of intergenerational relations and generational identity and, indeed, the idea of ‘family’ itself.
