- The stability of the human tendency to eat in groups is remarkable. We find it to be valued and mostly desirable across geographical locations, cultures, and historical time periods. Yet, there is a great deal of variety in how the practice is expressed, how individuals experience it, and how the sharing of meals is understood culturally. This chapter focuses on three facets of eating together that deserve more attention in the literature: the biology of eating together; the differentiation and cohesion of eating together; and the performativity of eating together. It ends with a postulation about carefulness with normative claims about meals in company or in solitude.

Does home economics education make men cook? : Evidence from a natural experiment

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Educational policy has two objectives: foster children’s learning in academic subjects and socialize them into citizens. Evaluating whether these objectives are met in the long-term is notoriously difficult, since society is noisy (statistically speaking). In the absence of randomized controlled trials of school systems, social scientists have increasingly come to utilize natural experiments. Using data from five rounds of the Swedish Level-of-Living Survey (LNU) we analyse specialized and generalized educational effects on self-reported housework participation of adult Swedish men. Specifically, we study potential effects of the content of a given school subject, Home economics (HE), and from education overall.The Swedish gender gap in housework is comparatively small, and in this context sociological research has discussed men’s cooking and childcare involvement in particular. Two unique features of mid-1900s Swedish school reform could have influenced this: the early introduction of HE for boys and the successive transformation from a 7-year folkskola to a 9-year grundskola, including a decade-long assessment period. First, based on information in curricula and government reports, we establish whether HE was mandatory for boys. If so, did it contain practical cooking and childcare or mostly theoretical schooling? Second, we identify when Swedish municipalities partook in the assessment period and when they implemented the 9-year grundskola. Connecting this to (1) the LNU participants’ year of birth and (2) the municipality they grew up in, we allocate them to treatment and comparison groups. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we analyse (potential) differences in time reported on a selection of housework activities.

- AimsTo evaluate relationships between diet quality and cardiovascular outcomes.MethodsSix databases were searched for studies published between January 2007 and October 2021. Eligible studies included cohort studies that assessed the relationship between a priori diet quality and cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity in adults. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Checklist was used to assess the risk of bias. Study characteristics and outcomes were extracted from eligible studies using standardised processes. Data were summarised using risk ratios for cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality with difference compared for highest versus lowest diet quality synthesised in meta-analyses using a random effects model.ResultsOf the 4780 studies identified, 159 studies (n = 6 272 676 adults) were included. Meta-analyses identified a significantly lower cardiovascular disease incidence (n = 42 studies, relative risk 0.83, 95% CI 0.82–0.84, p < 0.001) and mortality risk (n = 49 studies, relative risk 0.83, 95% CI 0.82–0.84, p < 0.001) among those with highest versus lowest diet quality. In sensitivity analyses of a high number of pooled studies (≥13 studies) the Mediterranean style diet patterns and adherence to the heart healthy diet guidelines were significantly associated with a risk reduction of 15% and 14% for cardiovascular disease incidence and 17% and 20% for cardiovascular disease mortality respectively (p < 0.05).ConclusionsHigher diet quality is associated with lower incidence and risk of mortality for cardiovascular disease however, significant study heterogeneity was identified for these relationships.
