Be(Com)Ing Consumers: Young Children’S Everyday Accounts of Snacking
In this paper, the experiences of young Scottish children (8-11years) around ‘snacking’ are explored. Despite discourses of independence and democratisation of the family, in this aspect of food choice children are ‘becoming’, rather than ‘being’ food consumers and are still primarily reliant on parents for their snacks. Scottish children were found to be subject to the family and healthy eating discourse and related regulatory practices
