Proposal on Eating Preferences
Eating preferences of Home Economics 1 grade 12
INTRODUCTION
Understanding the students’ eating preferences is important in terms of their over-all health and well-being. Evidence indicates that dietary habits acquired in childhood persist through to adulthood.
In general, the eating preferences of students’ is usually established from birth and is affected by several factors including sociodemographic, physical and psychological condition, economics, culture, religion, the education level of parents, and social media.
The student’s eating preferences are often bad and studies have addressed reasons for this. Some studies have focused on modelling, and indicate that children may model both their parent’s eating behaviour and also their eating related attitudes and body dissatisfaction. Other studies have highlighted a role for control, and have indicated that whilst many parents impose control over their child’s intake and use food to control their child’s behaviour, this may not always have the desired positive effect. Because of this, Studying eating preferences can aid in the design of specific measures that reduce the negative effects of an unhealthy diet on health.
