THE FASHION IMPACT ON FOOD CONSUMPTION AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

https://lnkd.in/eqH4DfB8

It is true that fashion has a direct impact on several aspects related to food consumption. Fashion models have to be thin without any extra weight. In order to respond to such iconic models people tend to consume less food avoid fatty food and reduce quantities. Sometimes, in particular young people., consume much less to their needs that face nutrient deficiencies or even further suffer anorexia. Fashion also tends to promote the consumption of specific types of food or brands either because famous people prefer them or paid to promote their consumption through their fame. Many types of food and brands have been established through the promotion of famous people. An example is the Nespresso ad with George Cloney. A famous chef induce people to try different food types like Gordon Ramsay.Our body signals with appetite our needs and we have to respond one way or another. Adding influence and other rules than that distorts the natural function of our body. It is acceptable to gain or lose some weight from time to time depending on situations that lead to it. Nothing is wrong but to consume very little or large quantities of food because of publicity or fashion influence is not quite in line with the real needs. Many sports’ idols are employed to promote food brands appealing to the imitation tendency of people. What you wear affects how you think, feel, and behave. This  psychological phenomenon is known as enclosed cognition. "Gastrofashion" and aesthetic consumption are two phenomena that develop in our days.  Food has increasingly become a lifestyle accessory and a core component of personal branding, heavily influenced by high fashion. consumer mindset that drives spending on fast-commerce clothing trends also fuels the demand for trendy food delivery, artisanal ingredients, and experiential dining. Changes in food consumption include the rise of plant-based diets, local sourcing, and zero-waste cooking. The agrifood industry increasingly relies on "authenticity" and "origin story" like the wine's terroir to appeal to ethically conscious consumers.

There are several religions around the world. The issue of religions is a sensitive matter for people as it involves sacred values, identity, and strong beliefs of people. In order to understand the impact of  each religion on our food practice and preference, It is necessary to know the beliefs and practices of at least the major religious with the high number of followers. One large category is Christianity. This faith consists of many different types with differences, but they all identify as Christians. This faith comprises Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox church, oriental orthodoxy, Assyrian church of the East, Protestantism and many others. Considering the Muslim population, Islam is the second most important religion  in the world after Christianity. It is the religion of one quarter of the world population. Hinduism is an Indian religion that promotes a specific way of life. It is the third largest religion and the most ancient in the world after Islam and Christianity. Buddhism is another Asian religion that was originally spread in the North of India but also expanded via the silk road in the whole of Asia. It is known for its doctrines and disciplines attributed to Buddha. This is the fourth largest religion in the world. Folk religions comprise various forms and expressions of religion that are distinct from the official doctrines and practices of organized religions. This group comprises the Chinese folk religions overlapping with Taoism, the indigenous Philippines religions and many other local traditional religions.

Religious practices are integrated broadly into regional cuisines. Religious dietary guidelines contribute to the preservation of culinary traditions and cultural heritage. They are also foster a sense of tradition and identity. Religions emphasize the healing and the wellbeing properties of food and their ability to promote physical and spiritual well-being. The influence io religion is a testament to the intricate interplay between spiritual beliefs, cultural practices and the way people nourish themselves. It highlights the deep connection between food, identity and the sacred.

FOOD FRAUD IS A DANGEROUS PUBLIC ISSUE

https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08M68DYD8/about?ingress=0&visitId=0b183a95-94f6-4655-a2b2-1e98550052bd&ref_=aufs_ap_ahdr_dsk_ab&ccs_id=f9f2c946-55e2-4e8e-97b2-202627193bfe

 

Food fraud is the violation of law with the intention to deceive consumers for financial gains. How many times it was found that food labelling of products was providing deceiving information. Extra virgin olive oil found not to be the case or fish fillets found to be of another species. Food fraud cause billions of losses to the food industry, cheats consumers and most importantly is dangerous to the consumer’s health and food safety. It is estimated that food fraud represents 1% of the global food economy and close to 40 billions. It is always a point that we have to be more cautious on what we buy that it represents what we want to buy even if it is not considered as food fraud in legal terms.

Some products are more susceptible to food fraud than others. Expensive products are preferred to cheaper ones from fraudsters. Spices are vulnerable to food fraud since anything that can look like a powder and can be colored can be an addition in food fraud. Expensive spices like saffron, basil and others can be subject to food fraud. Fish also can be subject to food fraud because consumers are not knowledgeable to recognize the different fish species, in particular when they are in processed form as fillets or other form. Everything can be faked or contaminated with forbitten substances. The list of counterfeited products is endless. In many cases there is a fake origin of the product to deceive consumers.

It was not far that we became aware of food scandals like the use of unsuitable horse meat instead of beef meat, the sale of dioxin contaminated poultry meat, the use of forbitten chemicals in food production, melamine in baby milk, the sale of low quality honey counterfeited with sugar as quality honey and many other. The actors in food fraud are diverse and may involve criminals, mafia people or simple producers or other.The quality characteristics of a product have a price or added value in each product. When we buy a product of lower quality at the price of a product of higher quality because of a deceptive labelling is food fraud. In many cases companies change the labelling description and the content of a product but not the size, colour and form of the packaging. Consumers do buy them because they are used to buy the same product and they do not read the labelling which is different than the one we bought the previous times.

Buying food in the internet is another purchasing procedure we have to check carefully. Read any comments on the site to become aware of any problems.In many cases food fraud may produce huge profits to fraudsters and any punishment by the governments may look like a smooth hand hit of a teacher.Food fraud refers to the intentional deception for economic gain involving food products. It includes practices where food is misrepresented, adulterated, or mislabeled to deceive consumers, often compromising quality, authenticity, and sometimes safety.

Politics can influence significantly food consumption in many ways. The increased numbers of immigrants to the western world by people who search a better future for them and their families bring with them their gastronomic culture. The political tolerance but also opportunities appearing here and there for people coming from poor countries creates an impact on the food offer of the welcoming food markets. Not only that,  the religious developments and the imposed regimes change food demand because believers  follow their faith’s requirements. The religious populations will change over the years with some faiths increasing their followers but most importantly the group of unaffiliated people will also increase.

The Governments and the International organizations place an effort to control food quality and improve nutrition. The western world faces an increased series of sicknesses like diabetes, obesity and coronary diseases for which food and bad regimes are partly accused as important contributors to them. The applied policies can be effective, but many times are proven to be inadequate and more action is needed.

Several events like wars, the climate change, pandemics are listed as reasons of famine and hunger in our planet. It goes without saying that half of our planets has an abundance of food and the rest is under poverty and hunger. Is food transport the solution or local food production? The Food and Agriculture Organization FAO implements several programs against hunger but still not enough to arrive to the hunger extinction. Governments are taking significant measures to tackle hunger for the needy people.

The demographic development on earth shows that the western world has its population reduced and the poor populations are increased dramatically. The forecasts show that in 50 years the population will have a different origin composition. This result reveals that the food needs will fall on the food eaten by this increasing part of population. More rice will be needed and more meat will be consumed because of the increase of the income per capita.

This issue is not a simple one that can be resolved overnight with drastic decisions and a continuous effort should be made by everybody to improve nutritional quality and food conditions for the poorer nations. Georgios Malliaris who a food writer and researcher on food issues, has undertaken a lengthy analysis on the matter. His book on how politics influences food consumption reveals many problems that are still not solved and discuss why food is still an issue for poor populations.
