| Annotation | "Food for thought" is based on the views and experiences of some 4,000 carers, people with dementia and professionals. It confirms that eating is a source of concern for most carers of people with dementia. Yet, with the right help, food can still be enjoyed. The report looks at: the range of tasks which contribute to a meal; how dementia affects the type of food we enjoy and how damage to the brain alters food preferences and tastes; our eating environment; and how carers' eating habits change while looking after someone with dementia.
