title: The impact of culture on food-related behavior.
abstract: Some of the sociodemographic and psychosocial determinants of individuals' food-related behaviors were examined in this chapter. The empirical research indicates that individuals do participate differentially in their culture. But, the reasons for why people eat what they eat are still incompletely understood, as evidenced by the inadequate predictive ability of the determinants examined.
