A flaw in this theory however is that it removes personal responsibility from overeating and could be used as an excuse for obesity. Also if this theory were true it would mean that everyone would have the same preference for high calorie foods, when evidently this is not true and we each have individual food preferences. Another evolutionary explanation of food preference is how we have learnt taste aversion and how to avoid eating poisonous foods. Our ancestors lived in an Environment of Evolutionary Adaption era and it was a case of survival of the fittest, and so in order to survive they had to learn what was good and bad for them to eat. Sweet taste is often associated with ripeness and therefore good foods to eat, whereas bitter tastes aren’t as enjoyable and therefore are associated with bad (poisonous) foods.
Each service user is different and they all like/ dislike different foods. Some service users are able to tell staff as to what they do and don’t like. As for some individuals have difficulties explaining things, but some information like this will more than likely be found on their own care plan. Also some service users may have other things to be aware of such as diabetes eating less sugary things or bad oral hygiene not allowing them to eat solid foods. In this case I would seek guidance for their care plan and GP as to what is acceptable for them to be having.
In his article,” In defense of food “: Michael Pollen established “what is food” and why do American’s eat nonfood in such large quantities?” Definitely, I’m agree about food labels do provide enough information for consumers to make an informed choice about what to feed their bodies. However consumers do not pay attention of the food labels because they do not really know about it as long it’s delicious. Surely, most food provides food labels because it is a
Any nutritious substance that is consumed or absorbed in order to maintain life and growth is considered food. From an early age, we try eating all sorts of edible substances and seem to only like the ones that are not as healthy for us. The more unhealthy it is, the more humans seem to like it. The more we eat these addictive foods, the more we search for remedies to lose the physical damage it carries on our bodies. Can these delicious canned soups or conveniently packaged frozen meals or sugary boxed cereals truly help us grow in the best of ways?
Chemicals in Foods—HFCS With the development of processing technology of food, food additives are commonly used in today's food products to either improve the taste or lower the difficulty of preservation. Though the purpose of using food additives all sound beneficial for customers, the effects of food additives have been among the controversial topics for many years in modern society. Actually, the effects of food additives are related to many aspects including quantity, the food itself, and how people eat it. This essay is going to explain High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)'s effects on human bodies, and how they can be positive or negative.

This means that they need different types of nutrition’s. For example since their metabolism tend to burn the food faster they need some type of heavy food but not too heavy so soon their metabolism won’t be able to break it down; which will cause them to gain weight.

The stick just happened to act as a good eating utensil however, had to be pulled out of the ground and forced against its original stance. Another example is a fruit such an apple we could say that the designer created this apple for source of food however it could also be eaten because its actually tastes good or is good for our health. This argument states that the apple was taken off the true to best suit the need, of becoming food because it tastes good. Therefore the apple suited the purpose of what was needed from it. Many items could be used for purposes that best suit them, and this does not take intelligent design.
Another field of psychological research is cognitive psychology, which studies the processes of thought and knowledge. Research has shown that a person judges a food’s edibility on just the idea of it. For example, if something looks repulsive, but is still edible, most humans will reject that food. This psychology field offers an explanation as to why humans will not eat foods that sound or look disgusting to them despite the fact that they are edible. These three fields of psychology each offer an excellent explanation as to how humans decide what is
Nutrients Bacteria, like all living things, need nutrients to survive. Different types of food-poisoning bacteria can live on a range of foods, but most prefer food that is moist and high in protein such as meat, poultry, eggs, shellfish, milk and dairy products, cooked rice, pasta, or any product made from these foods. All these foods are subject to bacterial growth even after they have been cooked and served cold later. This is why such ready-to-eat items are classified as high-risk
