Abstract

This study explores perceptions of the right to food and issues around food assistance and access among older adults. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with adults aged 60+ in Iowa, half of whom were food insecure. Most respondents expressed the right to food concerns freedom of choice rather than physical and financial access. The respondents said poor food access was due to improper choices or not accessing food assistance. While respondents believed food insecurity was morally wrong, they also believed current food assistance services are sufficient. These results have important implications for understanding how older adults think about food access.

60 岁及以上成年人对食物权的看法。

本研究探讨了老年人对食物权的看法以及与食物援助和获取有关的问题。我们对爱荷华州 60 岁以上的成年人进行了 20 次半结构式访谈，其中一半人的食物无保障。大多数受访者表示，食物权涉及的是选择自由，而不是物质和经济上的获取。受访者表示，无法获得食物的原因是选择不当或没有获得食物援助。虽然受访者认为粮食不安全在道德上是错误的，但他们也认为目前的粮食援助服务是足够的。这些结果对于了解老年人如何看待食物获取问题具有重要意义。

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.
