Edulia partner Institut Paul Bocuse Research Center will organises a webinar the 29th of April on cognitive and social variables modulating food rejection (or acceptance) in children.

 

Food acceptance and rejection depend on multiple factors. In this webinar, researchers will present their ongoing projects on the influence of food processing and transformation (D. Foinant, C. Coricelli), the influence of different types of knowledge about food (A. Pickard), and the influence of social factors such as parental practices (K. Philippe) on food behavior. From these results, recommendations will be derived about what efficient food education programs targeting children should look like, and conclusions will be drawn about the way our brain is dealing with the complexity of our food environment.
