Abstract

• Objective The objective of this research is to understand how influencers stage their expertise to become authority figures in the food domain. • Methodology A netnography was carried out from a corpus of 86 YouTube videos, belonging to the concept of "what I eat in a day", illustrating the daily food. The corpus was also subjected to a nutritional analysis of the proposed dishes. • Results The results underline that expertise is linked to the mastery of three main dimensions: digital, thematic and social. The sharing of lived experiences concerning food is privileged and participates in the transmission of knowledge. A particular vision of healthy eating is disseminated, often moving away from what is recommended by health institutions. • Managerial / societal implications This research provides leads in terms of public health, inviting public authorities to rethink communication campaigns related to healthy eating. • Originality This work draws its originality from the methodology used, combining both management sciences and nutrition.
