BACKGROUND
Understanding how consumers make food choices, and why they like what they choose to eat, is of central importance to educators, other healthcare professionals, researchers, policy makers and the food industry. Promoting healthy diets and increased physical activity has been recognized as key to preventing diet-related chronic diseases. A better understanding of the main determinants of food choices will enable us to develop targeted policies and interventions that promote healthier eating patterns. In-depth understanding of drivers of food choices is also essential for developing successful products and services by the private sector, including the food industry.
