Funded Activity Summary

Youth Cultures of Eating: A Cultural Analysis of Youth Obesity, Gender, Class, Ethnicity and Generation. Australian children and teenagers rank among the most overweight in the world. While there has been ample information about healthy eating, the message does not seem to be getting through to youth. This will be the first in-depth nationwide cultural study of the effects of gender, ethnicity, class, generation and geographical location on the food consumption practices of youth. It will provide information and analysis about how primary and high school students, teachers and parents perceive the problem of youth obesity. it will also provide insights which will enable policy-makers, school authorities and health practitioners to better understand this issue.
