Where you live affects food costs and types of food available. We are influenced early on by what our parents buy. What you buy depends on how much money you have. Lower income households buy less fruits and vegetables. 40% of food dollars are spent away from home. Eating at home often means opening a package. Food has symbolic meaning related to family traditions, social status and health. As people move around the world their food habits change with assimilation.
