Answer: ​b) the convenience of meals that require little or no preparation.

Explanation:  

The main reason for eating is the desire to satiate the feeling of hunger. Some of the other factors that influence food choice include:

  • Biological factors such as hunger, appetite, and taste.
  • Economic factors such as cost, income, availability .
  • Physical factors such as access, education, skills and time.
  • Social factors such as culture, family and peers.
  • Psychological factors such as mood, stress, etc.
  • Attitudes, beliefs and knowledge about food.

Among the options listed above, cultural and traditional views about food though very strong, can be changed. For instance, many non-Africans today have shown interest in African dishes.

The convenience with which food is accessed and the ease with which it is prepared is a strong factor affecting food choice. That is why food-on-the-go and fast foods are now becoming more commonplace.

Although mood and stress affect our food choices, it does not necessarily mean that such foods provide emotional comfort nor do they always have high nutrient content. Some individuals may have what is known as food cravings for junk foods which are not healthy as it may lead to weight gain.

Cost or expense of food is another important factor. However, the cost of food does not make it tastier nor healthy. Taste of food is a bigger factor than the cost.

The desire to make up for consistently poor food choices falls under eating behaviors and requires high mental awareness. It is most often seen in people with eating disorders. Thus, it is a product of food choice not really a factor affecting food choice.
