FOODS 25/08/21 The Price of Homemade Street Food in Central Asia and Eastern Europe: Is There a Relation with Its Nutritional Value? The aim was to describe the price of homemade street foods in four cities of Central Asia and Eastern Europe and to analyze its association with energy density, macronutrients, sodium and potassium contents.
Cross-sectional evaluations of street food vending sites were conducted in Dushanbe, Tajikistan (n = 562), Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (n = 384), Almaty, Kazakhstan (n = 236) and Chișinău, Moldova (n = 89) in 2016–2017. Information on the homemade street foods available, including price, was systematically collected; the most commonly available foods (n = 64) were sampled for chemical analysis. Prices were converted to international dollars ($) and expressed as $/serving, $/100 g and $/100 kcal. The median street food price was $1.00/serving, $0.85/100 g and $0.33/100 kcal. Traditional foods were cheaper per 100 g than the westernized ($0.77 vs. $1.00, p = 0.011). FOODS 03/06/21 A Consumer Segmentation Study for Meat and Meat Alternatives in Switzerland.

Introduction In the last few decades, the food industry and retailers have been offering ever more food products labelled with nutrition and health claims (NHCs). NUTRIENTS 12/07/19 Consumer Understanding and Culinary Use of Legumes in Australia. While health benefits of legume consumption are well documented, intake is well below recommendations in many Western cultures, and little is known regarding culinary use and consumer understanding of these foods.
This study aimed to investigate consumption, knowledge, attitudes, and culinary use of legumes in a convenience sample of Australians. An online computer-based survey was used to gather data and demographic characteristics. Respondents (505 individuals answered in full or in part) were regular consumers of legumes (177/376 consumed legumes 2–4 times weekly). Chickpeas, green peas, and kidney beans were most often consumed, and were made into most commonly Mexican, then Indian and Middle Eastern meals. Consumers correctly identified protein and dietary fibre (37%) as key nutritional attributes.

Background In South Asia, the proportion of people living below the international poverty line ($1.90 per day) has declined significantly in recent decades, from a little over 44 percent in 1990 (500 million people) to about 15 percent in 2013 (257 million people). India (21%), Bangladesh (15%), and Nepal (15%) drive these rates; with less than 10 percent of people living in poverty in Bhutan, Maldives, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka (World Bank, 2018a). OBESITY 14/11/17 Trends in Beverage Consumption Among Children and Adults, 2003‐2014. Introduction Sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a leading source of added sugar to the diet for adults and children in the United States 1.
The consumption of SSBs is strongly linked to obesity 2-5, though some studies have found null results 6-8. On a given day, about half of adults and two‐thirds of children consume at least one SSB 1. In recent years, SSB consumption has begun to decline 9; however, rates of SSB consumption have remained persistently higher for racial and ethnic minorities 1, who are also at higher risk for obesity 10. Reducing SSB consumption is the focus of many public health efforts in the United States. Also critical is understanding how beverage intake has changed overall in order to identify key future areas to target, as SSBs represent only one source of beverage calories.

BMC PUBLIC HEALTH 12/01/18 Socio-demographic and lifestyle determinants of dietary patterns in French-speaking Switzerland, 2009–2012. This is one of the few studies to characterize empirically-derived dietary patterns in the French-speaking Swiss population.
Three patterns were identified, and several socio-demographic and lifestyle factors were found to be associated with them. Factors associated with dietary patterns Women had higher PRRs and scores for the “Fruits & Vegetables” pattern and lower PRRs and scores for the “Meat & fries” and the “Fatty & sugary” patterns, a finding in agreement with the literature [7, 33]. These findings confirm the higher importance of diet for women compared to men, a finding also reported when assessing compliance to dietary recommendations [11]. Elderly subjects had higher PRRs and scores for the “Fruits & Vegetables” pattern and lower PRRs and scores for the “Meat & fries” pattern, a finding in agreement with the literature [33]. Being born in Portugal or Spain was positively associated with both the “Meat & fries” and the “Fruits & Vegetables” patterns.

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity 25/12/17 Menu-engineering in restaurants - adapting portion sizes on plates to enhance vegetable consumption: a real-life experiment. Context and design The study was conducted within the public-private partnership “Meer groente & fruit voor iedereen” (More vegetables and fruit for everyone), which was sponsored by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Fresh Produce Centre.
The study started in May 2015 and was implemented in three restaurant locations of a major restaurant chain in medium-sized cities in the Netherlands. The participating restaurants were selected by convenience sampling, and to obtain a representative sample, restaurants were distributed throughout different parts of the Netherlands. Furthermore, the particular restaurant chain was selected because it receives guests from all levels of the population, further enhancing the representativeness of the data. To recruit restaurants, an email was sent that explained the rationale of the study and included an invitation to sign up to participate in the study. Sample size Approximately 400 guests visited the restaurants each evening. Procedures.

PLOS 03/11/16 Effectiveness of Pricing Strategies on French Fries and Fruit Purchases among University Students: Results from an On-Campus Restaurant Experiment. Abstract Objectives This study examined the effect of a 10 and 20% meal price increase when choosing French fries and a 10 and 20% meal price reduction when choosing fruit for dessert on university students’ purchasing behaviour in an on-campus restaurant. The moderating effect of gender was also investigated. Secondly, this study aimed at gaining further insight into reasons why these price manipulations did or did not change students’ purchasing behaviour. Br J Nutr. 2016 Apr;115(8):1498-507.

PLOS 05/10/16 Association of Overweight with Food Portion Size among Adults of São Paulo – Brazil. Abstract Background Although studies show that portion size affects energy intake, few have demonstrated a link between portion size and weight status, especially in free-living populations. The objective of the present study was to assess the relationship between food portion sizes and overweight in a representative population of adults of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods Cross-sectional population-based study with 1005 adults from São Paulo, Brazil. Results The most consumed food groups were: beans, breads/rolls, coffee/tea, milk, rice, and sugar. Conclusions Larger portions of few food groups with different energy densities were associated with being overweight, suggesting that overweight may be related to the consumption of larger portion sizes of a series of food groups, not a food group alone.

Nutrition Journal 2010, 9:36 Relative validation of a food frequency questionnaire for national health and nutrition monitoring. The DEGS-FFQ showed a reasonable to good agreement in ranking of participants towards their intake for most food groups compared to two 24-hour dietary recalls. The spearman's correlation coefficients for intakes measured by the FFQ and the 24-hour dietary recalls ranged between 0.15 and 0.80 with most values of 0.30 and higher. The observed correlation coefficients were in a similar range as observed in other validation studies [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]. For example, a validation of the FFQ used in the German EPIC cohort showed Spearman rank correlation coefficients between the FFQ and twelve 24-hour dietary recalls between 0.14 and 0.90 [17].
Although a direct comparison is difficult because of differences in food classification, similar correlations were seen for coffee and tea, bread, salty snacks, spreads, fruits, legumes, potatoes, soft drinks, milk, cheese and processed meat.

PLOS 30/06/16 Beyond Wishful Thinking: Integrating Consumer Preferences in the Assessment of Dietary Recommendations. Abstract Convenience, taste, and prices are the main determinants of food choices. Complying with dietary recommendations therefore imposes a “taste cost” on consumers, potentially hindering adoption of those recommendations.
The study presents and applies a new methodology, based on economic theory, to quantify this taste cost and assess the health and welfare effects of different dietary recommendations. Then, by comparison of those effects, we identify socially desirable recommendations that are most compatible with consumer preferences (i.e., that best balance health benefits against”taste cost”) and should be prioritized for promotion.

When it comes to eating out and eating healthy portion sizes, knowledge is power. Agricultural Research Service-funded scientists investigated trends in portion sizes and the calorie, sodium, saturated fat, and trans fat content of popular meal combos at three U.S. quick-serve chain restaurants. They found little change in portion sizes during a period of 18 years. On a positive note, the study recorded a decline in trans fat content of French fries that followed the first local legislative ban on trans fats in restaurant foods, which was passed by New York City in 2006. The study was led by nutritional biochemist Alice H. Lichtenstein and colleagues. The researchers reported that overall they did not find changes in product portion sizes—as assessed using total calories—or product reformulation by the restaurants to become consistent with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
