The Psychology of Food Choice
One of the central problems in nutrition is the difficulty of getting people to change their dietary behaviours so as to bring about an improvement in health. What is required is a clearer understanding of the motivations of consumers, barriers to changing diets and how we might have an impact upon dietary behaviour. This book brings together theory, research and applications from psychology and behavioural sciences applied to dietary behaviour. The authors are all international leaders in their respective fields and together give an overview of the current understanding of consumer food choice.

The 25 topics of the text are organized under 6 principal themes including the early stages of feeding behavior in rats and birds; social influences on independent feeding development in rat pups and birds; the maternal influence on such development in weanling kittens; mechanisms involved in the development of food preferences; the persistence of early food preferences in later life; and the advantages and disadvantages of parental influence on food preferences of offspring. A summary is given at the end of each of the 6 chapters, and a general overview summary is appended. (wz).
