Andrea’s research explores Millennial Canadian’s perceptions of healthy eating and dietary advice. She is interested in how people of this generation define “healthy eating” and how they understand “choice”, “free will”, and the ability to make good “decisions” about food.

Her work will consider the emotional and cultural dimensions of food and eating, and how they contribute to interpretations and applications of dietary advice. This research is expected to help inform public health policy and improve the way dietary advice is framed and communicated.
