History
The concept of the nutritional gatekeeper was first suggested by Kurt Lewin in 1943. Before that time, most past efforts to study nutrition education had focused on the individuals eating the food.
Based on Lewin’s research, food reaches the household through “channels” such as grocery store, the garden, and the refrigerator. The selection of the channels and the food that passes through them is under control of the gatekeeper.
For sixty-five years since Lewin’s work, many dietetics and nutrition textbooks have referred, in the discussions of children’s and adolescents’ dietary habits, to the gatekeeper role played by women.
