how do the food fads come about?
Answers
Food Fads
Food fads are not only potentially dangerous for adults but also particularly hazardous in childhood. Apart from human milk for babies and young infants, there is no other single food which supplies all nutritional needs, yet food faddism seems increasingly attractive to many seeking ‘healthy foods’ and a diet free of all alleged contaminants.
As food technology and supermarket retailing become more sophisticated and food processing is seen as an adulteration of our food, some will seek alternatives via the use of ‘natural, organic, and health foods’ – all loose terms. There is an organic food myth and we do not even have an acceptable definition of ‘organic foods’ – a term introduced by the late JI Rodale. Consumers presume such food is grown in soil free of artificial fertilizer, is pesticide-free, and does not contain additives, preservatives, hormones, or antibiotics. In northern Europe, 70% or more of all foods now consumed is processed, preserved, and/or packaged. There is no evidence to support the contention that ‘organic foods’ are healthier for the consumer.
Explanation:
Several factors can cause someone to start a fad diet, such as socio-cultural peer pressure on body image and self-esteem, including the effect of media, and economical cost of comprehensive programs.
