Abstract

This study explores what emerging adults value in food media, i.e. food-focused content and personae in media. Emerging adults (18-25) are an important target group for food media as they transition toward nutritional independence and consume media substantially. Seven semi-structured focus groups were conducted with thirty-seven Belgian participants. Thematic analysis revealed three themes (hedonism, ability, information) grouping nine subthemes (entertainment, sensory appeal, convenience, familiarity, cost, autonomy, education, health and fitness, and innovation) characterizing emerging adults' food media experiences. Incidental exposure and interpersonal influences also mark their food media consumption. This demonstrates food media's interwovenness in emerging adults' media habits. Further research should consider these themes and complexities, including their potential impact toward food-related habits and media use.

“无论你看哪里，你都会找到食物”:新兴的成年人对食物媒体景观的看法。

本研究探讨了新兴成人在食物媒体中的价值，即以食物为中心的内容和媒体中的人物。新兴成人(18-25岁)是食品媒体的重要目标群体，因为他们正在向营养独立过渡，并大量消费媒体。七个半结构化的焦点小组进行了37名比利时参与者。主题分析揭示了三个主题(享乐主义、能力、信息)和九个子主题(娱乐、感官吸引力、便利、熟悉、成本、自主、教育、健康和健身、创新)是新兴成年人食物媒体体验的特征。偶然接触和人际影响也标志着他们的食物媒介消费。这表明食品媒体在新兴成年人的媒体习惯中是相互交织的。进一步的研究应该考虑这些主题和复杂性，包括它们对食物相关习惯和媒体使用的潜在影响。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
