Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study was evaluated by the Medical Research Ethics Committee of University Medical Center Utrecht (reference number WAG/mb/18/039311). The committee decided that the Dutch law concerning Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Acts does not apply, which means that official approval is not required. Interview participants gave written informed consent before the start of the interview. Observation participants were not asked for written informed consent; participants at the eating activities were informed about the purpose of the observation, and subsequently gave verbal permission to join. People who were present during the observation of grocery shopping were not asked for consent. For all observational data collection activities, researchers used an observation form to make notes that could not be traced back to individual participants; therefore, none of them were individually described or quoted.
