The association of individual food security status with women's political participation, labor-force participation, and reproductive health
This article applies a conceptual framework based on multilevel theories of gender inequality to examine individual-level food insecurity (FI) outcomes in the League of Arab States (LAS). We conceptualize FI as an embodied waypoint on a discriminatory cycle incorporating material and cultural practices that function at macro-, situational-, and individual-levels. Using data drawn from the Gallup World Poll representing a sample of non-institution…
Intersectionality and food consumption
Intersectionality is a concept that has received little attention in scholarship on consumption, despite its significant relevance. Marie Plessz and Stefan Wahlen organised a roundtable held at the European Sociological Association (ESA) Consumption research network (RN5) interim meeting, 2 September 2022, in Oslo. This is a summarised and edited transcript of this roundtable discussion. As such, it advances the conceptual lens of intersectionali…
The Possibilities and Limits of Personal Agency
The food environment poses many challenges to low-income rural residents as they struggle to sustain themselves and their families. Rural settings in the United States are characterized by poorer food access and availability, including costlier and lower-quality produce, in comparison with urban settings. The practices employed by low-income residents to cope with these rural food environments have nutritional consequences and sometimes even broa…
Developing an agenda for research about policies to improve access to healthy foods in rural communities
This collaborative, trans-disciplinary, participatory process, created a map to guide and prioritize research about polices to improve healthy, affordable food access in rural communities
Government Capital, Intimate and Community Social Capital, and Food Security Status in Older Adults with Different Income Levels
Whether government-based forms of food assistance such as theSupplementalNutritionAssistanceProgram (SNAP), communal efforts including food pantries, aid from friends and family, or alternative means such as gardening are the appropriate means to reduce the prevalence of household food insecurity is a continuous source of policy contention. To inform this debate, we examine the relative importance of these forms of food assistance and acquisition…
Understanding contextual barriers, supports, and opportunities for physical activity among Mexican-origin children in Texas border colonias
This study suggests that PA environmental resources, barriers, and opportunities for colonias children are similar to previous studies and distinctively unique. As expected, built resources in these communities are limited and barriers exist; however, knowledge of PA opportunities and available PA resources within colonias households and neighborhoods offers insight to help guide future research, policy, and PA initiatives
Convenience stores are the key food environment influence on nutrients available from household food supplies in Texas Border Colonias
Although household members frequently purchased food items from supermarkets or dollar stores, it was spatial access to and frequent utilization of convenience food stores that influenced the amount of nutrients present in Texas border colonia households. These findings also suggest that households which participate in NSLP have reduced AE-adjusted nutrients available in the home. The next step will target changes within convenience stores to imp…
Empowerment of Promotoras as Promotora–Researchers in the Comidas Saludables & Gente Sana en las Colonias del Sur de Tejas (Healthy Food and Healthy People in South Texas Colonias) Program
Cultural repertoires and food-related household technology within colonia households under conditions of material hardship
This research points to the importance of socioeconomic and structural factors such as gender roles, economic poverty and material hardship as constraints on food choice and food-related behavior. In turn, it emphasizes the innovative practices employed by women residents of colonias to prepare meals under these constraints
Mobile and home-based vendors’ contributions to the retail food environment in rural South Texas Mexican-origin settlements
Association of Household and Community Characteristics with Adult and Child Food Insecurity among Mexican-Origin Households in Colonias along the Texas-Mexico Border
The Mexican-origin population is rapidly expanding; record numbers of individuals and families are experiencing food insecurity; and for those living in rural or underserved areas such as the colonias, the worst forms of food insecurity are an ongoing reality. The rates of households with adult and child food insecurity in this border area are alarming and among the highest reported. Clearly, systematic and sustained action on federal, state, and…
Alternative components of the retail food environment. Healthy food availability in South Texas pulgas
Influences of food insecurity on eating behaviors among impoverished older women
It's who I am and what we eat. Mothers’ food-related identities in family food choice
Mothers and fathers food-related time use. Are they connected
Food insecurity, social capital and perceived personal disparity in a predominantly rural region of Texas
Food Access and Perceptions of the Community and Household Food Environment as Correlates of Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Rural Seniors
BACKGROUND: Although the importance of fruit and vegetable consumption to health has been well established, few studies have focused on access to fruits and vegetables in rural areas; even fewer examined the relationship between food access and fruit and vegetable consumption among seniors. METHODS: To examine the spatial challenges to good nutrition faced by seniors who reside in rural areas and how spatial access influences fruit and vegetable …
Using direct observations on multiple occasions to measure household food availability among low-income Mexicano residents in Texas colonias
This study highlights the value of documenting weekly household food supplies, especially in households where income resources may be more volatile. Clearly, the data show that a single HFI may miss the changes in availability--presence and amount--that occur among low-income Mexicano households who face challenges that require frequent purchase of foods and beverages. Use of multiple household food inventories can inform the development and impl…
I Can Say that We Were Healthy and Unhealthy”
We examine the importance of the maintenance and reinvention of tradition to the food choices described by Mexican-American focus group participants recruited from nutritional health settings in central Texas. The pressures experienced while coping with changes in their food environment, such as shift-work and working outside the home, and transformations experienced in the food production system, provided structural barriers and opportunities to…
Mothers and meals. The effects of mothers’ meal planning and shopping motivations on children's participation in family meals
Feedlot veterinarians' moral and instrumental beliefs regarding antimicrobial use in feedlot cattle
This cross‐sectional survey research study examined the role moral beliefs play in predicting behavioural beliefs and attitudes and the role that subjective norms play in predicting moral beliefs. Using a self‐administered questionnaire, one hundred and three feedlot veterinarians completed measures of behavioural beliefs, referent others, perceived constraints and moral beliefs regarding recommendations to use antimicrobials in four situations (…
