Meal Science & Public Health Nutrition
Organisation profile
The MENU (Meal Science & Public Health Nutrition) Research Group investigates in everyday food and meals consumption, whether by individuals, communities or within wider populations. Food intake has a direct effect on our health and quality of life.
Every day people are confronted by food and meals in various sizes, shapes and food types in various eating environments. As we become more busy and mobile, we consume more and more meals outside home. Eating in social gatherings has become an integrated part of our everyday food experience from in schools, public spaces, workplaces to in the street. The meals consumed within this spectrum set the arenas of the MENU research.
A particular research focus for MENU is addressing meals and public health nutrition issues. MENU develops and evaluates strategies, interventions, methodologies and social technologies that can affect collective and personal determinants, such as knowledge, skills, competencies and social interactions related to food and meals.
