The determinants of food choice

What does food symbolize for you?

Recall your mealtime as a child-what types of foods did you eat, where did it come from (family garden or store), who prepared it, where were meals eaten, was the TV on, the topics of family conversations (if the family gathered together for meals), and whether there was plenty of food for everyone.

Discuss whether you or others ate to relieve boredom or negative emotions, the role of food in celebrations and rituals, and how food shaped your cultural and personal identity.

Do these 'determinants' complement or coincide with each other, or are they independent?

As an adult now, what affects your food choices directly or indirectly?

Who influences your meal choices?

Are there negative or positive eating habits?

Secondly, after reading Michael Pollan's-Food Rules, state two possible Rules you would follow in your daily eating habits.

2) Give some thought to where your food comes from

How can you change your eating habits to include a variety of healthy food choices?
