This chapter focuses on eating as a social practice of families in urbanized rural areas where one in three children are stunting. The argument is based on a survey conducted in October 2019 on families of young children (age 1–9 years old) in Nangapanda subdistrict, Ende District of East Nusa Tenggara Province. Despite the successful efforts from various institutions to reduce stunting in the area, Statistics of Nangapanda subdistrict shows one in three children experience stunting, the figure is further confirmed in the 2009 survey. Standing on the duality of agency-structure from theory of structuration, the everyday lived experience of eating in the family leads to understanding of eating as a social practice, which can explain the prevailing of stunting. While studies on stunting in Indonesia have focused on nutrition, parenting, and eating behavior, and though these studies contribute to both science and the policy-making process, study in this chapter contributes to further understanding of prevailing stunting in the area with findings show not only knowledge of mothers as respondents of the 2009 survey who are the decision makers on family eating habits, but also how the respondents answer the challenges in providing healthy food for the family.
