Institutional Dining Rooms: Food Ideologies and the Making of a Person

  • Chapter
Changing Families, Changing Food

Part of the book series: Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life ((PSFL))

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’.
