This thesis is an investigation of perceptions of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating among urban Ontario adults. Framed within the risk literature, the objectives of this research were to develop a conceptual analysis of the meaning of population-based dietary advice and to understand responses to this form of risk communication. Working within a constructivist paradigm, the constant comparative method was used to analyze 40 open-ended, in-depth interviews. Participants were purposively recruited to vary in gender (20 men, 20 women), age (24--71), and education (some secondary to completion of graduate degree).

520 $a This thesis is an investigation of perceptions of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating among urban Ontario adults. Framed within the risk literature, the objectives of this research were to develop a conceptual analysis of the meaning of population-based dietary advice and to understand responses to this form of risk communication. Working within a constructivist paradigm, the constant comparative method was used to analyze 40 open-ended, in-depth interviews. Participants were purposively recruited to vary in gender (20 men, 20 women), age (24--71), and education (some secondary to completion of graduate degree).
520 $a The interviews revealed a widespread perception of risk, yet not all participants believed that following the Food Guide would reduce the risk of chronic disease. Four main themes that emerged from the data (relevance, trust, skepticism, and resentment) distinguished the participants into a continuum of responses to the Food Guide (accept, negotiate, ignore, reject, resist). Across this continuum, from those who accepted the Food Guide to those who resisted it, the personal relevance and level of trust in this advice diminished considerably. In contrast, levels of skepticism and resentment increased across the response categories.
520 $a Participants who accepted the Food Guide welcomed it as relevant and trustworthy advice. Those who displayed a negotiated response also trusted it, but most searched elsewhere for more relevant information. Others in this category could not comply because of financial constraints. Although participants who ignored the Food Guide believed it was trustworthy, it had little relevance in their lives. Participants who rejected the Food Guide considered it personally irrelevant (but it was suitable for 'others'). Perceiving that marketing boards and the food industry had influenced the content, they were skeptical of the recommendations. Participants who resisted the Food Guide's advice believed that following it would bring harm, not health.
520 $a Including the public in discussions about the legitimacy of stakeholders involved in the Food Guide's development can create more effective policy; however, the wealth of information currently available overwhelms the Food Guide as a source of dietary advice.
