INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Food plays an important role in our daily life and wellbeing. Food is full of properties

that we perceive with our senses of smell, touch, sight and taste according to Science Learning

influencing food choice such as age, nutritional needs,time of the day,knowledge,money,likes

and dislikes,environment,special occasion,allergy/intolerance,food provenance according to

influence the food choice of the people are moods and emotions but this factor is involved only

on people with the age ranging from 55 – 64 years old. The second thing that affects the food

choice of the people is the price, it also stated that as the age and income of the people increase,
