Reasons We Eat

People’s food choices are influenced by a variety of factors, including aesthetics, where visually appealing food is more likely to be consumed, especially by picky eaters. Psychological influences like emotions also play a role, with comfort foods being chosen during times of sadness.

Reasons We Eat

Cultural Influences

Celebrations


Birthday cake on my or someone else's birthday is a must, it's celebrating them growing older. I'm an okay fan of cake, yet if I get cake on my birthday why not eat it?

Religion


In my religion, I can't have pork, so I usually either eat stuff without pork or I substitute it with an alternative such as beef bacon.

Psychological Influences

Feelings


In my notes, I have ice cream = sad, which is sort of true. Whenever I have ice cream, it's usually when I'm feeling a bit down/

Aesthetics


I'm a big fan of aesthetics because I am a picky eater, so needing food to look good is a must. Chicken Alfredo looks and tastes good so I'm a big fan, though it depends.

Physiological Influences

Senses


Pizza smells and tastes amazing to me, I'm a big fan of the texture so if it tastes like cardboard I will not eat.

Survival

Big fan of bread, I love bread. It is also (depending) needed for survival so a win-win for me.

Media Influences

Movies


Whenever I watch a movie, I usually have a snack or meal. The most general snack is popcorn, which I love, specifically sweet and salty.

Commercials


Whenever I see a food commercial, it's usually Wendy's. It makes us want Wendy's or just hungry. As of writing this and looking at Wendy's commercials, I'm kind of hungry.

Environmental Influences

Transportation



Coffee doesn't grow in Canada, so to be able to drink coffee, it will have to be imported from other countries.

Seasonal Food


I love grapes, yet they are only in season during fall. If I want grapes right now, they'd have to be imported and won't be as fresh as it would if I just had Canadian grapes in the fall.

Social Influences

Resources


Tim Hortons is the closest coffee/fast food place to the school and my house. If I'm low on time and have money to spare, I'll usually have Tim Hortons as my school lunch.

Parents

*this is kousa mehseh, very delicious you should try it


Parents affect my food choices as they make traditional Lebanese food or they make "Canadian food" which is like burgers and stuff. They mainly decide what I'm having for lunch
