The last one of the important determinant of individual’s food choice is technology. The technological advancement has affected our food choice as changes have taken place in production, distribution, preparation and consumptions of food.

They have allowed us to recognize new products such as genetically modified foods in order to reach each individuals need and want. In addition, processed foods such as convenience food have impacted our choice of food dramatically.

When either my sister or i return home from school or university and there is an exam the next day, cooking would take to much of our time and therefore we turn to convenience food where you place it in the microwave and your meal will be prepared in minutes.

In conclusion, as I grew up not holding much knowledge in relation to the appearance, small and flavor of foods, everything seemed new and mysterious. That curiosity has led me to understanding why we need food, why we eat food and the other contributing factors towards food selection patterns.
