Front 7

Relate the following factors to food choice: financial status, emotional state, social and physical factors and ethnic heritage

Back 7

A family's financial status may influence a person's eating habits. Food is relatively inexpensive in the US. More affluent people tend to eat at restaurants more often. They generally consume more vegetables and fruits but also eat more fat due to a higher intake of cheese, meat, fish and poultry. Diets higher in fat are associated with heart disease, cancer, and other disorders. When income rises, people tend to eat fewer eggs, rice and beans. People with lower incomes may skip meals. Homeless may beg or look through trash for food.
