Lunchbox shaming: recollections of school lunchtime by young Canadians of Asian descent

ABSTRACT Children’s home-packed lunches to school reflect family’s culinary cultures, social locations, and unique food norms. At Canadian elementary schools, children of Asian heritage sometimes experience “lunchbox shaming” – feeling embarrassed for bringing foods that are seen deviant from dominant food norms. This study explored the recollections of school lunchtime by 25 young adults (aged 17–25 years) from three largest Asian ethnocultural groups (Chinese, Indian, and Filipino) in Toronto, Canada. Two parents of the participants also joined follow-up interviews to provide their insights. Our analysis focused on four layers of meanings at micro-level (personal experiences and emotions), meso-level (family food practices, school food environment), macro-level (socio-historical discourses), and interactional-level (researchers’ positionalities). Many participants recalled painful experiences being teased by classmates of their “stinky” lunch, throwing away homemade lunches, or asking parents to pack “normal” lunches to fit in. Conversely, a few shared positive memories of their lunches being praised and felt proud of their culinary heritage. Many reportedly felt a need to balance affiliation to both their home and school food cultures while growing up in Canada. We conclude by discussing the implications of the study findings for the ongoing debate on Canada’s national school food program and food literacy education.

Characterization of the family economy of the La Hermosa farm in the village of La Libertad in Florencia - Caquetá

The peasant family economy in the La Hermosa farm, located in the La Libertad hamlet of Florencia, Caquetá, faces significant challenges due to the disarticulation of the community and the lack of inclusion of plot holders in communal projects. This study analyzes the family economy of the farm, characterized by the multifunctionality of its activities, including swine, poultry and agricultural production. The main economic activity is swine farming, which generates income in the short and medium term, allowing for continuous production cycles. Poultry production, divided between egg and chicken production, contributes additional income, while bread crops are essential for family nutrition and food sovereignty. The peasant economy on the farm is characterized by the active participation of family labor and its articulation with local markets. However, marketing faces obstacles such as the poor condition of tertiary roads and increased transportation costs. Short marketing circuits allow a direct relationship between producers and consumers, favoring the sale of fresh and organic products. This work highlights the importance of implementing agroecological practices and sustainable production systems that preserve biodiversity and contribute to food security and sovereignty. It also emphasizes the need for policies that strengthen the peasant family economy, guaranteeing its economic viability and its capacity to adapt to environmental changes. The research also underlines the relevance of community participation and the integration of producers in local development projects to improve the living conditions of peasant families.

Willingness for more vegetarian meals in school canteens: Associations with family characteristics and parents’ food choice motives in a French community

The school meal system could contribute to the transition towards more sustainable food system by promoting plant-based meals. Knowing whether parents want more vegetarian school meals for their children is a prerequisite for a successful implementation. The present study aimed to estimate the proportion of parents who would opt for more vegetarian school meals for their children and to study associations of willingness with family characteristics and food choice motives. An online survey was sent to parents whose children are registered for school canteen in Dijon (France). We collected child-level information, data on family sociodemographic characteristics, and data on dietary habits and food choice motives of the family. We examined family characteristics associated with the willingness to increase the frequency of vegetarian school meals from one meal per week to two or daily. Generalized linear models were performed. In total, 49% of parents were willing to opt for a second weekly vegetarian meal and 26% for a daily vegetarian meal for their children (n = 1261). Parents willing to opt for more vegetarian meal were more likely to have higher education, be flexitarian or vegetarian and to currently opt for pork-free meals for their children, and their children attended the school canteen less frequently. Environmental motives were positively associated with the willing to opt for a second weekly vegetarian meal; familiarity and sensory appeal motives were negatively associated. Health and animal welfare motives were positively associated with the willing to opt for a daily vegetarian meal and sensory appeal was negatively associated. Increasing the frequency of vegetarian school meals would satisfy a demand expressed by parents but must be accompanied by interventions enhancing pleasure of eating vegetarian meals.
