Friends

Influence of Friends

Friends might influence your decisions very easily. You might want to follow your friends decisions because you might think they are making the right decisions and you are making the wrong ones for not listening to them. Lets take a scenario that you, and your friends are at a restaurant, and you are done eating food, and you are full. The waiter comes over, and asks do you want dessert. Everybody at the table except you says yes. Then you change your mind, and instantly say yes. In this scenario you changed your mind very easily. All your friends were buying desserts so you decided to buy dessert as well.

Personal

Personal Influence

People have a very big impact on themselves. We are the ones who affect ourselves the most. You can influence yourself by. Personal influence can be caused by simple things such as color, sound, smell, and taste. You might be wanting to do the right thing by trying something healthy, but you might want the food that tastes great, or smells amazing. You might also come from different cultures which might affect your eating habits. For example Japanese foods tend to do have a lot of rice in them. Even though Japanese food has a lot of meat in their daily foods, most of the meat is seafood. Which is said to be better for your health. This is a very different diet than what other people usually have.

School

Influence by School

In most cases school has a positive influence on eating. The school usually tells you to eat healthy. The influence of schools can change when you get to different countries. Schools around the world start to have different eating habits. Italy for example says that it is against the law to serve fried foods such as potato chips, french fries, and fried chicken in schools. This in my opinion is a good law. This prohibits children from eating fried foods that are bad for you, and allows you to eat organic food which is good for you. This can also have a great influence on children since they might consider more healthy options when eating then other unhealthy options.

Media

Influence of Media on Food

Media has a really big influence on what you eat. Media can be a double edged sword when it comes to food. It can tell you to eat healthily or go for the greasy, and more tasty but more non healthy food. Food shows in particular affect our eating habits greatly. We usually recreate dishes we see on food shows. Let's take a cooking show like Chopped. In its streaming history most of the foods in showed in the show are meat. That has a huge influence over us. Cooking shows in different countries might have a different influence over the population. A show like Masterchef which streams in hundreds of countries might have a different influence in each one of them. In overall media has a huge influence on our eating. It can either have a positive effect on a negative.
