Summary: The current health status of the general public can benefit from a healthy diet. Personalized approach to initiate healthy dietary behavior is promising, but providing personalized advice to a wide audience over a long period is labor-intensive. Digitalizing the process can potentially overcome this bottleneck.

Summary: Research on healthy eating texts in the UK identified various discourses related to scientific, family, medical aspects, emphasizing moral citizenship and personal responsibility. The use of biopower categorized foods as good or bad, with bad foods posing health risks due to their nutritional composition. Most texts assumed individuals were capable of following the advice provided, without considering their personal contexts.

Summary: Fruit is a nutritious and balanced health food that is tasty and easy to eat, and fruit peels are gaining emphasis as they have higher nutritional value compared to the pulp. However, there is a lack of relevant studies to guide consumers on the scientific intake of fruit peels. This review investigates the consumption of common fruits with peels by Chinese consumers and discusses methods of pesticide detection and removal, as well as the physiological activities of nutrients in different fruit peels.

Summary: Evidence suggests that personalized nutrition advice can lead to greater improvements in dietary intake compared to generalized advice. Additional well-designed trials with a broader range of dietary outcomes and comparisons between personalized approaches based on diet, biology, and lifestyle are needed.

Summary: Research on personalized nutrition has shown limited effectiveness and there are concerns about its impact on health inequality. To address these issues, a new approach called adaptive personalized nutrition advice systems (APNASs) is proposed. This approach aims to tailor personalized advice to individual needs, capacities, and receptivity in real-life food environments, encompassing broadened goals and personalized behavior change processes. Digital nutrition ecosystems enable continuous monitoring and support in food environments.

Summary: This study examined the representation of mindful/intuitive eating on Instagram among young adult users. The findings revealed that almost half of the images depicted food or drink, with 50-60% of them being healthy foods. Approximately one-third of the text provided credibility information. The messaging focused on mindful/intuitive eating, nutrition/eating behaviors, physical/mental health, disordered eating, and body/self-acceptance. However, the images lacked diversity in terms of demographics and body types.

Summary: Understanding healthy eating beliefs in populations with a low socioeconomic position can help improve diet quality, but the literature is fragmented. This review systematically mapped healthy eating beliefs and the meaning of food and eating in this population. Perceived barriers to healthy eating include lack of time and money, social influences, and desired identities expressed through specific foods.

Summary: This study explores the trajectories of transformative engagements in dialogues during policymaking processes. By analyzing recorded Dutch public meetings on livestock farming, the researchers identified a template describing the unfolding of dialogue. The key to this template is the organizer's query that invokes citizens' apparent trouble and invites further discussion. Citizens respond by elaborating the issue, leading to participants' displays of understanding and transformation.

Summary: The present study analyzed video recordings of 79 evening meals in families with a low socioeconomic position to explore how primary school-aged children express their likes and dislikes of foods, and how their parents respond to these preferences. The findings revealed that children's likes were often ignored, while dislikes were treated as refusals or inappropriate claims. Parents were more likely to respond to assessments that involved social actions such as refusals and complaints. The study also emphasized the importance of distinguishing between assessments of general food items and assessments of food currently being eaten.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

Summary: The UK's aging population requires promotion of balanced nutrition, with a particular focus on increasing dietary fiber intake. Surveys involving older adults showed their willingness to learn about dietary fiber and the need for accessible information. Educational materials proved effective in engaging older adults and were perceived as useful. A holistic approach, involving support from various sources, can aid in improving dietary fiber consumption and overall health outcomes among older adults.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
