Major determinants of food choice
The key driver for eating is of course hunger but what
we choose to eat is not determined solely by physiological
or nutritional needs. Some of the other factors that influence
food choice include:
•Biological determinants such as hunger, appetite, and taste
•Economic determinants such as cost, income, availability
•Physical determinants such as access, education, skills (e.g.
cooking) and time
•Social determinants such as culture, family, peers and meal
patterns
•Psychological determinants such as mood, stress and guilt
•Attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about food
Generalization:
• Healthy eating is a lifestyle and not a
diet.
• There are more benefits to eating
healthy.
• Healthy eating combined with
physical activity is the answer to
weight management.
• Healthy eating improves your overall
quality of life.
