this is nice .........................................
I can tell you why people make food choices in American society...ease of preperation and availabiltiy. That's why fast food has become such a problem.
After working 8 - 10 hours a day, mom and dad come home and want to be able to fix something quick and easy. They don't want to have to work in the kitchen for hours preparing things from scratch.
There are a number of healty products pre-prepared and frozen now available, but that does not preclude fresh vegitables and fruits.
Thanks,
Ken

Why we eat what we eat - The psychology of choice and AGM
Food and Health Forum
Date: Monday 16 March 2009| Venue: Royal Society of Medicine
This meeting aims to provide an overview of the latest research into the psychology of food choices. Areas covered will include the role of the hypothalamus, imaging of the brain's response to hunger, programming of appetite and obesity, the role of physical activity in controlling food cravings, mindless eating, the influence of sound, teenage eating, phenotypes and how we motivate people to change.
At the end of the meeting delegates will have gained a broad and up-to-date overview of the mechanisms that drive people to make food choices. They will have an understanding from this research as to what future research is needed and how we can implement in practice the knowledge that is already there.
