Eating disorders are triggered by emotions just like eating signals are. “Current studies evaluated the mediating roles of appetite awareness and emotional awareness in a brief eating disorders prevention programs designed to help participants identify and respond to internal appetite signals.” (Brown, 2010) There are some people who may use food as a form a comfort and they just eat large amounts of food because they are upset. People who are overweight tend to have emotional triggers when someone makes comments about their weight. There are also those who will binge eat or eat a large meal and then induce vomiting in order to get rid of the large amount of calories their just took in. Many clients could start to feel down on themselves and use that food for comfort; however, there are those who have the reverse effect and when they are depressed they choose not to eat food at all.
The author suggests that society should stop giving people junk food and it can help stop obesity. Another argument, “Gluttony is and excessive self-indulgence. Even in its disrespect for the body it overvalues the ego that is slavishly satisfies” (Prose 213). People feel self-satisfied once they eat what they like. They do not care about their body or appearances.
Becoming depressed can make them feel like they want to be on their own most of the time therefore becoming socially isolated can also affect the nutritional needs as they don’t feel like eating and most likely wont. 1.4 Explain the importance of recognising and meeting individuals personal and cultural preferences for food and drink. It is very important to recognise what an individual likes to eat and drink and what they don’t like. If you don’t recognise these you are not meeting their preferences and that will cause them to not eat and drink instead of realising that it is something they don’t like. When you know what they do like you can always assure that there is always something available.
For example: A Service user cannot understand a menu when It is present in a list form , so we could help them make their choice by getting images of meals they would be presented with to eat. Also try to explain the importance of a healthy diet. If the dilemma was to be a reoccurrence or become a bigger issue at meal times, it would be a good idea to report it to the NIC or the service users case manager to then discuss other options available with the chef. 2. Each service user is different and they all like/ dislike different foods.

For example if my client had high cholesterol and chose to continually eat saturated fatty foods. 3.1 Factors that help promote an individuals dignity, comfort and enjoyment while eating and drinking would be to for them to choose where they would prefer to sit and to ensure that it is safe, hygienic, warm and light. Make it a pleasant quiet experience with no distractions or noise. 4.1 Lots of individuals eat slowly this could be due to wrong fitting dentures, swallowing problems or maybe it helps digestion. To start clearing away before an individual has chosen to finish eating and drinking is firstly rude but also could make the individual feel that they should be finished.
I agree with Zinczenko on his critical viewpoint on how he looks at the fast food industry. Fast food is part of the blame because most of them are not healthy and are bad for consumers. The calories of a Big Mac, medium fry, and a medium Coke are almost equivalent to the daily intake of these industry’s consumers. Zinczenko uses the analogy of a simple salad we would assume is healthy. Our fast food industry needs to provide these nutritional facts in easy reach for their customers.
The addictive and yet fattening qualities associated with fast food leave people constantly craving one more bite. However, Schlosser makes a decent point in the epilogue section of his book when he states that under no circumstances is anyone actually forced to purchase and consume fast food products and those who desire change should simply "stop buying it" (Pg. 269). No matter how many excuses the fast food industry or average consumer comes up with, consuming fast food is just not worth the endless list of consequences
