Many consumers prefer locally grown foods. They think that the foods are grown using fewer chemicals. Often, local farms are smaller and operated by families. Carolyn Anderson enjoys discovering such things when she shops. She sees her local farmers' market as an opportunity to find out who grew her food and how they grew it. For her, the social part of farmers' markets is fun. She loves chatting with the growers about their methods and practices. "The social experience is just as enjoyable as the food," says Anderson.Do It!Anderson enjoys _________ with people.Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selectedA exploringB concentratingC relaxingD connecting

The focus of this assignment is on the many varied factors influencing peoples’ food choices. Make an observational visit to a supermarket or grocery store in your neighborhood sometime during the next week. The market you choose should have a deli, salad bar and/or snack counter where people purchase "grab and go" meals such as sandwiches and soups. Even if you purchase meals, snacks, and groceries at this establishment on a regular basis approach this visit with fresh eyes and ears. Listen to the conversations people are having regarding their food choices while they are waiting in line or moving about the storeor market. Observe the variety of food options available and how these selections are displayed and marketed. Compare prices of similar meal and snack options and read the nutritional labels of some of the prepackaged food items in terms of nutritional content. Also take a look at other factors that may be influencing peoples’ choices such as traffic flow, cleanliness, accessibility of food options both at the various food stations and in the refrigerators, shelves, and freezers as well as the availability of ethnic foods, and foods for those on special diets. Also take note of the general layout of the food service area. (Please be discrete in your observations so that your store or market does not get the impression that they are being audited by the Department of Health!)Subsequent to your site visit post in the discussion board section of Blackboard your general reaction to observing your food establishment of choice from a fresh perspective. Identify at least 3 observations (which can be positive, negative or both) which you feel may be influencing the way adults and children make their food choices based on what you witnessed at the time of your visit. Also identify one (1) suggestion or improvement that you think would assist the patrons of this market or store in making more beneficial food choices. Your post should be a minimum of two paragraphs. Also read the posts of your classmates and comment on at least 2 others’ posts. This assignment is Due by: Tuesday March 19th, 2024 by 11:59PM.
