Feeding in 2017: LEAP / EAT echoes

Evidence score 93/100 reflects published cohort, RCT, and meta-analytic work — gaps remain in cross-cultural replication. Age range 0–18 years marks peak relevance; principles may extend but intensity varies by developmental stage. Difficulty score 65/100 captures typical caregiver load — context, support, and temperament modify real experience.

Consensus score 80/100 — areas of agreement and live debate appear in the science section. Urgency 85/100 reflects time-sensitivity; some topics tolerate gradual change, others need early action. No — worldwide section covers Scandinavia, Africa, Asia, and Latin America alongside North American data.

Practice section offers concrete steps; myths section clears common misconceptions before deeper reading. Feeding history tracks shifting expert authority — from religious manuals through behaviourism to attachment and neuroscience frames. Each era reinterpreted responsive nutrition and division of responsibility through available science and cultural values about children, gender, and state responsibility.
