WHY DO YOU EAT?

Choose one day of the week that is typical of your eating pattern. Make a table and list all foods and drinks you consumed for the day in the first column. In the second column mention the approximate amounts of consumption. Make a third column to indicate why you chose to consume each item. Pick from the following reasons. 

Taste / Texture
Emotion / Likes
Advertisement
Convenience
Availability
Family / Tradition
Hunger
Friends/ Relatives
Health
Routine
Cost
Weight control


(There can be more than one reason to choose a particular food)
  • Now ask yourself why do you eat food? 
  • What according to the table is the most frequent reason for doing so? 
  • How many number of times does health appear in the reason for food choice? 
  • Should health be given a higher priority in the day???
