At first glance it may seem simple: We eat because we are hungry, food tastes good, we can both access and afford it, and our bodies will seek out or crave the foods that supply nutrients we need. What if I told you that is less true now then it has ever been before? When an individual sits down to eat there are more than 15 motivators at play that influence their food choices. This presentation explores external influencers, spanning across individual, social, cultural, environmental, and institutional levels that shape individual eating behaviors. These external factors play a vital role in shaping what individuals choose to eat, transcending the simplistic notion that food choices are solely driven by hunger and taste preference. The course provides a holistic understanding of the multifaceted nature of our relationship with food, from personal to societal dimensions.
