Nutritionism and the construction of ‘poor choices’ in families facing food insecurity. Journal of Health Psychology, 23(14), 1863–1871. https://doi.org/10.1177/13591053166698791359-1053https://hdl.handle.net/10289/12699The dominant research approach to both food insecurity and charitable meal provision is nutritionistic, deficit-orientated and ignores wider socio-economic issues. This reinforces existing power dynamics and overlooks the agency of people living food-insecure lives. We critique this dominant approach and draw on the everyday experiences of families facing food insecurity to ground an alternative approach that emphasises food as a social determinant of health.application/pdfenThis is an author’s accepted version of an article published in the journal: Journal of Health Psychology. ©2016 Sage.Social SciencesPsychology, ClinicalPsychologycommunity mealsfood insecurityhungernutritionismpovertyHOUSED INDIVIDUALSHOMELESS FAMILIESDIETARY-INTAKEHEALTHINSIGHTSCOOKINGLESSONSPOVERTYMEALSJournal Article10.1177/13591053166698791461-7277
