Based on a participatory action research project in New York City from 2012 to 2014, our study compares the experience of black and Latino adolescents between their school and home food environments. Following a photovoice approach, adolescents participated in a "food justice" curriculum, photographed foodscapes, and conducted photo-elicited interviews. Using a grounded theory approach, we found that adolescents had mismatched experiences between school and home food environments under two conditions: sensory-emotional and sociopolitical. Mismatch suggested psychological and behavioral consequences, including skipping or wasting school lunch entrées and consuming energy-dense, nutrient-poor snack foods. We named this middle-range substantive theory food culture mismatch
