Food choices are influenced by physiological mechanisms including signals to the brain from the gastrointestinal tract and adipose tissue that affect hunger, satiety, motivation to eat particular nutrients, and reward from eating.
Determinants of food choice include dietary components, cultural and social pressures, cognitive-affective factors, and familial, genetic, and epigenetic influences on personality characteristics.
Effective policy recommendations about healthier eating require valid predictions about the consequences of proposed interventions and therefore a better understanding of the determinants of food choice.
