Abstract

This chapter focuses on an inductively developed and evolving model of the food choice process devised using in-depth qualitative interviews with adults in the USA that asked about how they constructed their food choices. Discussions on this food choice process model's components, elaborations and applications are presented. The food choice process model includes 3 components that operate together when people construct food choices: the life course, influences and personal systems.
