Exploring Food and Eating Trends in Ontario Families
Date: December 15th, 2020
About the Event:
Nutrition Connections, with support from The Helderleigh Foundation, worked with Ipsos, a global market and research and public opinion firm, to track food and eating behaviour trends in families with children under the age of 18. This webinar provides a snapshot of Ontario families’ food and eating trends and examines how they compared with families outside of the province. The highlights discussed include:
- What families are eating and drinking for meals and snacks
- Where and how families are eating and sharing meals
- How families are shopping and preparing meals
- What is driving family food choices
This information is helpful to anyone planning programs or interventions targeted to families with children and youth.
