    Notes: A survey of 259 primary school children in England and Germany ofvarying social background was performed to assess the children'sattitudes to sweet consumption and particularly to their perception (howthey make sense of information they receive) of sweets in their foodculture. There were highly significant differences in the children'sattitudes to sweet consumption between the two cultures with morechildren in Germany saying we should eat more (30 per cent) comparedwith those in England (7 per cent). Children's perceptions of sweetsalso differed significantly between cultures. These differences inattitude and perception of sweets, particularly chocolate, between thetwo cultures imply differences in educational and other influences onthe children in their early (primary) years.

    Bradford : Emerald
    British food journal 96 (1994), S. 10-15 
    Details
    ISSN: 0007-070X

    Notes: Primary schoolchildren's snack food consumption patterns and foodpreferences were investigated by interview technique in schools inGermany and England and analysed on the basis of culture, sex and socialclass. There were significant differences in the proportions ofchildren who took chocolate to school in the various social classes inboth England and Germany and there were also highly significantdifferences in the total number of chocolate bars consumed each week bythe different social classes in both countries. Food choices from atable display containing a range of snack foods popular in bothcountries showed highly significant differences between German andEnglish children with German children preferring a much higherproportion of "healthy food options", e.g. fruit, yogurt,milchschnitte (sponge cake snack), etc. compared with English childrenwho chose four chocolate products out of their five most preferreditems. Reasons for such differences could be related to advertisingpressures, nutrition education experience, parental attitudes,convenience and availability, income constraints and psychologicalfactors.
