Associations Between Household Frequency of Cooking Dinner and Ultraprocessed Food Consumption and Dietary Quality Among US Children and Adolescents

Abstract
Introduction: Dietary quality is poor and intake of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) is high among children and adolescents in the United States. Low dietary quality and high UPF intake are associated with obesity and higher risk of diet-related chronic diseases. It is unknown whether household cooking behavior is related to improved dietary quality and lower consumption of UPFs among US children and adolescents.

Methods: Nationally representative data from the 2007–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n = 6032 children and adolescents ≤19 years of age) were used to examine the relationships between household cooking frequency of evening meals and children's dietary quality and UPF intake using multivariate linear regression models adjusted for sociodemographics. Two 24-hour diet recalls were used to assess UPF intake and dietary quality [Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015)]. Food items were categorized according to Nova classification to obtain the UPF percent of total energy intake.

Results: A higher household frequency of cooking dinner was associated with lower UPF intake and higher overall dietary quality. Compared to children in households cooking dinner 0–2 times per week, children in households cooking dinner 7 times/week had lower intake of UPFs [β = −6.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) −8.81 to −3.78, p < 0.001] and marginally higher HEI-2015 scores (β = 1.92, 95% CI −0.04 to 3.87, p = 0.054). The trends toward lower UPF intake (p-trend <0.001) and higher HEI-2015 scores (p-trend = 0.001) with increasing cooking frequency were significant.

Conclusions: In this nationally representative sample of children and adolescents, more frequent cooking at home was associated with lower intake of UPFs and higher HEI-2015 scores.

Story at-a-glance

Life expectancy in the United States is currently declining, making it the only developed nation with this concerning trend. Since the 1930s, there has been a dramatic 700% increase in chronic disease development, rising from 7.5% prevalence to 60% of the population having one or more chronic conditions today
In the 1800s, people ate three structured meals daily (breakfast, dinner, supper) without snacking or fasting, maintaining a simpler relationship with food than we have today
Our ancestors consumed a high-carb diet rich in saturated fats, with minimal polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), as they didn't use vegetable oils or eat many nuts and seeds
The 1950s marked a significant shift in dietary recommendations, particularly regarding saturated fats and animal products, leading to major changes in the American diet
To optimize your health, return to simpler food principles: cook at home, source quality ingredients within your means, stay active, and prioritize happiness over strict dietary rules

Ep. 96: What Would You Do? Daryl Cooper, Israel, and Rethinking World War 2

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, host Jacob Winograd dives deep into the controversial conversations sparked by historian Daryl Cooper, particularly around World War II, Churchill, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Jacob opens with a gripping monologue inspired by Cooper’s Martyr Made series that humanizes the Palestinian perspective and challenges listeners to ask, “What would you do?” From there, he explores how myths about WWII and unquestioned narratives shape modern foreign policy and collective moral frameworks.

Through a critical examination of Allied decision-making, Churchill’s role, and missed opportunities to prevent genocide, Jacob makes the case that blind allegiance to national mythology distorts both our understanding of history and our response to present conflicts. Drawing parallels between 1930s Germany and modern disenfranchisement in the West, he highlights the importance of empathy, repentance, and Christlike love — even toward our enemies — as the true path to peace and justice.

Libertarian Memes and Mayhem: Chris Freiman's Guide to Economics on X

In this episode, Doug Stuart chats with Chris Freiman, who’s back on the podcast to discuss his new book, Libertarianism, the Basics. Chris is an economics professor at West Virginia University, and dives into the nitty-gritty of what libertarianism really is and brings us up to speed on some modern issues that libertarians care about.

The two cover everything from why tariffs can get sticky—especially with Trump’s policies—to the hot debate over living wages and immigration. Chris shares his take that maybe the world isn’t as bad off as some people think, thanks to the free market and economic progress. He also brings some fun moments with Seinfeld references and talks about why he can’t stay away from correcting economic misconceptions on Twitter (or X, as we’re apparently calling it now).

Listeners will get a kick out of hearing how his book, co-written with Jess Flanagan, tackles big questions in a way that’s both deep and approachable. Plus, they ponder whether Elon Musk's new government efficiency venture will actually pan out and whether Musk is doing a good job or not.

If you're looking to get a handle on libertarian ideas with a good mix of humor and thought-provoking discussion, this episode is for you. Tune in for a great conversation!

Tonight marks the anniversary of "15 days to stop the spread"—but instead of stopping anything, we’re starting a movement. Join us for a special roundtable discussion as we announce the launch of A House Divided: How the Church Responded to COVID and the Lessons Still to be Learned. I’m joined by Norman Horn to discuss the church’s role in the lockdown era, the divisions it created, and why this book is essential for moving forward.

We’re on a mission to spread this book far and wide—will you help us?
