Individual Preferences
Your individual preferences are shaped by many factors.
• Your past experiences: past experiences can have a great impact on what you do and don’t want to eat. Were you force-fed a certain food as a child? Do you like eating a particular food because it reminds you of an enjoyable event?
• Your ideas and beliefs: some people do not eat meat because they have strong beliefs in animal rights. Others eat lots of fresh foods and limit fatty and sugary foods because they wish to keep their bodies in a state of good health.
• Your health: many people suffer from allergies and intolerances, and this will in turn affect what they choose to eat. If you suffer from a peanut allergy, you would obviously not consume a spread such as peanut butter.
• Your individual needs: every individual is different and has their own special needs. For example, some people need to consume more water and fibre than others in order to keep their bodies functioning.
