Eating in a Social Context

In the social context of a meal, people tend to eat alone by themselves than they usually eat. The amount of food consumed by an individual has a positive correlation with the number of participants (de Castro, J. M, 1994). For example, a girl of normal weight Esma was recently invited to a birthday dinner with boyfriend and unfamiliar people. More time.

In this paper we think that the social background is forming a dietary life and dietary life of the population and that the social environment needs to choose individuals to solve in addition to individuals. There is no theoretical framework for public health to guide understanding of the feeding pattern of the population as a whole. We will use Giddens' structural theory to explain the theoretical framework to conceptualize meal as social practice. A structured analysis of the practice of food selection can provide insight as to how the social structure is understood as a family food choice rule and resource constraint. This view can be used to provide a way to understand how nutritional intervention can influence the social structure of opportunities and resource regulations, or the constraints that shape the food selection model of the population I can do it.

Eating habits are strongly influenced by the social environment. When we are with other people, we eat differently than we do when we eat alone. Our dietary options also tend to be mixed with our close social relationships. One of the reasons is that compliance with the behavior of others is adaptive and it is beneficial. The proper dietary norm is determined by the actions of others, but there are also common cultural expectations and environmental clues. If it is deemed relevant by social comparison, we are likely to follow the dietary norm. The relevant specifications are set by similar people and the people we identify. If the specification is appropriate, its behavior may be consistent with the specification, but this may vary depending on the degree of attention to the norm, the level of our interest in social acceptance, and others as individual norms and consumer stereotypes Such as the existence of competing norms.
