The target of community nutrition is the population, not the individuals. With public health, we look at the bigger issues and look at some of the bigger environmental changes we can make. There are some things that may hinder us from eating healthy and some things that may help us. When we look at our personal eating habits, we need to look at all the external things that may be going on in hamilton for example that may affect this. Multiple levels of influence on what people eat. The various levels of influence on what people eat include macro-level environments, physical environments, social environments and individual factors. This is one of the models used to look at the different influences. The macro-level influence is the one we really try to target and the physical environment. The social environment also affects what we eat and our individual factors.
