EvaluationThe fact that some studies have failed to suggest that social class is a factor influencing attitudes to food may be because the explanation is biological. Certain attitudes to food and preferences may have evolved from our ancestors. The evolutionary approach argues that humans have a developed a preference for meat because our ancestors included more meat in their diets to compensate for the decline in quality of plant foods available as a result of receding forests. This is why we must take a holistic point of view when studying eating behaviour. |
