The term eating habits (or food habits) refers to why and how people eat, which foods they eat, and with whom they eat, as well as the ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food. Individual, social, cultural, religious, economic, environmental, and political factors all influence people's eating habits.

Why and How People Eat
All humans eat to survive. They also eat to express appreciation, for a sense of belonging, as part of family customs, and for self-realization. For example, someone who is not hungry may eat a piece of cake that has been baked in his or her honor.

People eat according to learned behaviors regarding etiquette, meal and snack patterns, acceptable foods, food combinations, and portion sizes. Etiquette refers to acceptable behaviors. For example, for some groups it is acceptable to lick one's fingers while eating, while for other groups this is rude behavior. Etiquette and eating rituals also vary depending on whether the meal is formal, informal, or special (such as a meal on a birthday or religious holiday).

A meal is usually defined as the consumption of two or more foods in a structured setting at a set time. Snacks consist of a small amount of food or beverage eaten between meals. A common eating pattern is three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) per day, with snacks between meals. The components of a meal vary across cultures, but generally include grains, such as rice or noodles; meat or a meat substitute, such as fish, beans, or tofu; and accompaniments, such as vegetables. Various food guides provide suggestions on foods to eat, portion sizes, and daily intake. However, personal preferences, habits, family customs, and social setting largely determine what a person consumes.



What and how people eat is determined by a variety of factors, including economic circumstances, cultural norms, and religious restrictions. Here, an Iranian family sits on the floor and eats from a cloth laden with regional delicacies. [Photograph by Earl and Nazima Kowall. Corbis. Reproduced by permission.]

What People Eat
In each culture there are both acceptable and unacceptable foods, though this is not determined by whether or not something is edible. For example, alligators exist in many parts of the world, but they are unacceptable as food by many persons. Likewise, horses, turtles, and dogs are eaten (and even considered a delicacy) in some cultures, though they are unacceptable food sources in other cultures. There are also rules concerning with whom it is appropriate to eat. For example, doctors in a health facility may eat in areas separate from patients or clients.

Answer 2

For catholics fish on friday due to an old church tradition. THere is no enforcement or anything but the restriction is no meat and apparently fish aren't meat.... Anyway that only applies during lent (the 40 days before Easter). Christianity adapted to suit the cultures it is practiced in. You won't get a good answer, though you could pretend christmas cookies and easter eggs are religious in nature. Or you could just relish eating pork and beef and spite the hindus, jews and muslims. also shell fish if forbidden for some religions. Christmas hams seem to do well in my family, hope I helped.

Answer 3

The best examples I can think of are Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

Thanksgiving: Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Yams, Cranberry sauce, Pumpkin Pie, Mince Pie, and Apple Pie.

Christmas: Standing Rib Roast, Popovers, and Yorkshire Pudding.

Easter: Baked Ham, Sweet Potatoes and Hot Cross Buns.

Answer 4

I'm a Christian and I don't know of any special foods we're supposed to eat. The usual for Thanksgiving... Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean caserol, fried okra (I think our Thanksgiving is more influenced from living in the South). Easter we usually had a honey spiraled ham. Mmm!! But not for religious reasons, that's just what we all voted on having every year for Easter. For Passover in church we would break bread and drink wine as a symbol of the flesh of Christ and his blood (that's all in the Bible). But that's it...

Answer 5

It would depend a lot on the culture. Christians all over the world eat different things.

Answer 6

If I were you I would pick a more interesting religion. Considering christianity took all of it's traditions from other cultures and religions to begin with. So I would check them all out first.

Answer 7

It depends on each persons culture, rather than Christianity in general. Even then- everybody is different. I am a vegetarian for example, so my diet is completely different than my family's...even though we are all Christians.

Answer 8

In Brazil, Christians don't eat meat on the good-Friday, only fish. That's the only food-religion related occasion.

Peace!

Answer 9

Answer 10
