Reasons We Eat
Social Influences
Parents
*this is kousa mehseh, very delicious you should try itParents 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
dResources
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.
dEnvironmental Influences
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.
dTransportation
Coffee doesn't grow in Canada, so to be able to drink coffee, it will have to be imported from other countries.
dMedia Influences
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.
dMovies
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.
dPhysiological Influences
Survival
Big fan of bread, I love bread. It is also (depending) needed for survival so a win-win for me.
dSenses
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.
dPsychological Influences
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.
dFeelings
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/
dCultural Influences
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.
dCelebrations
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?
