Algeria’s high petroleum revenues1 in the 2000s prompted massive food imports in a highly EU-dependent socioeconomic and political setting. The rapid changes in food consumption patterns that occurred in Algeria during this prosperous period partially involved greater sugar and fat intake to the detriment of vegetable proteins (Chikhi and Padella, 2014). They also reflect the political imperatives embedded in the joint and deeply gendered urban/domestic space that currently underpins the inequality between Algerian men and women. The massive extension of the city of Oran towards its hinterlands (Madani, 2016), as a quick and hasty response to the high social demand for housing, was accompanied by widespread haphazard installa-tion of commercial shops in the various neighbourhoods (retail shops, mini-markets, shopping centres and informal markets), with a concomitant flood of food products into all urban areas. This sudden ‘food transition’ has favoured industrially processed products, often with high sugar and fat contents, which in turn has given rise to a politically-driven and socially-differentiated consumer status while eroding that of the citizen (Mebtoul, 2018)2.In this chapter we look closely at how gender norms in Oranese families today could shape how children are fed. Considering children’s diets from this gendered angle helps shed light on the multiple pressures involved, which Steiner (2017) char-acterized in terms of opposing relationships linked to the divergent rationales of social actors in the dual family/urban sphere. The question of children’s diets—far from being limited to their pleasure and health (Corbeau and Poulain, 2002)—also raises the issue of the socially differentiated status of Oranese mothers and women (Belghachem, 2016).
