Area of Science:

Social Sciences
Sociology
Food Studies

Background:

Modernization impacts daily life, including eating habits.
Nordic countries provide a comparative context for studying food consumption.
Traditional meal structures may be evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

To present methodological aspects of the "Eating and Modern Everyday Life" project.
To investigate the shift from regular meals to irregular eating patterns.
To analyze the social and cultural dimensions of contemporary eating.

Main Methods:

Computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden in April 1997.

Data reconstruction utilized a three-dimensional "eating system" model.

Main Results:

The "eating system" model analyzes eating patterns, meal formats, and social organization.
Preliminary findings suggest the methodology is suitable for studying modernization through food.
Focus on "eating events" avoids predefined meal concepts.

Conclusions:

The developed questionnaire and analytical model are effective tools.
The study provides insights into the modernization of food and eating practices.
Further research can build upon this framework to understand evolving food cultures.
