STUDY REGARDING THE EATING HABITS OF THE CONTEMPORANY CONSUMER
Abstract
The worldwide population growth, the extension of urbanization and increasing of incomes has determined the producer and retailers to increase their production and to diversify their assortment offer. Also, in the conditions of saving the time allocated to the daily preparation, the diminution of the physical effort required by this activity, the online sales and the food services have grown significantly in the last years. Employees with high and medium incomes from industrialized countries prefer to serve food at the restaurant at least during the week. People with low incomes and those living in rural areas choose to prepare their own meals at home using ingredients purchased from local markets and supermarkets or grown their own farm. Children and young people between the ages of 16-25 prefer to eat fast food. The general characteristic of the eating habit of all contemporary consumers, regardless of the category of which they are, is the orientation towards safe, varied, healthy and nutritionally balanced foods.
