More than convenience: the role of habitus in understanding the food choices of fast food workers
通过对40名快餐工人的定性访谈，研究家庭环境和社会关系如何通过惯习影响他们的食物选择，发现结构、倾向和意识共同塑造消费行为。
This article explores the consumption practices of fast food workers through the lens of Bourdieu, specifically his notion of habitus. The authors address a gap in knowledge in the field of fast food work and explore the ways that the family environment and social relationships outside the family shape adult food choices using qualitative interviews with 40 fast food workers. Most fast food workers eat fast food when they are at work but their consumption patterns and choices reflect familial, cultural and class-based eating patterns and learning in adult social relationships (e.g., eating practices with friends). Some engage in a deliberate (conscious) process in their eating habits. The findings suggest that structure, disposition and conscious thought may influence food consumption.
