Abstract
While most of the preceding chapters have focused on the domestic setting of family eating, this chapter examines three different contexts where people eat in institutional settings associated with schools, voluntary associations and homeless centres. Examining the food ideologies and practices associated with these institutional environments, we argue, sheds light on the normative assumptions involved in ‘feeding the family’.
