Influences on Food Choices

Availability

Time

If I have time to make food

Chicken and rice

If I need to be quick

A quick sandwich

Availability is an influence for many as usually we just eat what has been brought home or even based on how much time we have. For example when I have time to make stuff I take my time to make food compared to when I am in a rush I make something quick.

Money

If I have money to treat myself

Buffets

Restaurants

Food at Home

Any foods that your parents have bought from the market

Cultural foods eaten during celebrations (Diwali)

Culturally people are influenced including me as usually we eat the foods that we originate from. I have put some foods that I eat culturally above.

You are also very influenced socially from people like friends, family and others. In terms of friends I'd say that you tend to eat more junk because you are just hanging out and you are more relaxed rather then when you are alone.

Psychological

Reward/Punishment foods

Reward yourself with a sugary fruit as a reward and a vegetable you prefer not to eat as a punishment

Brussels Sprout

Mango

I would say that psychologically you could be very influenced as your emotions are things that we deal with everyday. Sometimes our emotions overpower us and we use food as comfort which is comfort food.

Comfort Foods

Usually something sweet or appealing to taste buds.

Cake

Ice Cream

Media

Social Media

Links

Link to store to buy new foods

Video Ads

Commercial for a new burger at Wendy's

Billboards

Live Video

Pictures flipping through new releases

Media is a big influence on foods because everyone is using it everyday and we encounter many ads or sponsors when we are using our devices. I would say that this affects teens the most as we are probably the age group that uses tchnology the most.
