Food and nutrition literacy are concepts that may be important factors in supporting healthful dietary habits. Building these skills and knowledge at a young age is important for skill retention, confidence in food practices and supporting lifelong healthy eating habits. Dr. Maude Perreault is a Registered Dietitian and Assistant Professor at Université de Montréal. Her clinical and research interests are centered around family nutrition, and how we can support children and parents to have healthy eating behaviors. Dr. Perreault has also supported parents through her online private practice, with a focus on helping parents team up and tackle “picky eating” with their toddlers. More recently, she has developed an interest for food literacy as a way to explore the skills required to feed ourselves in the complex food system, and where inequalities might lie. Through her research and clinical work, Dr. Perreault’s mission is that everyone can enjoy eating, with autonomy, for their own well-being and that of their community. In this episode, Dr. Perreault discusses the emerging results around food literacy and considerations when it comes to teaching kids about it as well as in the context of chronic health diseases requiring dietary changes, namely celiac disease.
