What Drives Our Food Choices?

Food Makes Me Happy

Eating food is one good way of keeping ourselves alive.  But for how long?  Only time will tell, so in the mean time we should live everyday to the fullest.  Now this does not mean go crazy and do whatever it is we want to do.  There must be order.  This also includes how we eat.  We naturally get hungry as our body craves nutrition to work properly.  But what kind of foods should we eat?  Do I have a say in what I eat?

We all makes choices in life for better or worse.  All our decisions our based off some form of logic.  Sometimes they are influenced by outside sources.  This is very much the case with eating certain types of food.  One being fast food.  We eat fast food because not only does the food taste good, but it's convenient.  Drive through the drive-thru, order, pay, and grab food and go.  Same goes for grocery shopping.

As a customer service supervisor for Wal-Mart I see what people buy five days a week.  I would say 8 out of 10 customers eat foods that are fast and convenient to make.  Big sellers are bread with processed meat and frozen meals.  Of course, we can't forget about the snacks.  Again, big sellers are candy and some type of chips.  Like any other retail store we have deals and sales to bring in customers.  We also price match to guarantee our customers the lowest prices.  It's all about the demographic and what sells not what is healthy.  What do you eat?
