One example of the media influencing my food choices would be a chamoy pickle kit review. I saw many videos of people reviewing chamoy pickle kits, and they all gave a good review and influenced me to want to buy one. Watching all of the reviews made me want the kit more and more.

Media Influence 1.2

Another example of the media influencing my food choices would be seeing buffalo chicken dip recipes everywhere. I saw the recipes a few times before I was finally influenced. I made it and it is now one of my favorite foods.

Often when I walk into the grocery store (Food Lion) with my mom there are deals. My mom and I often come across deals like buy two get one free for cases of soda. My mom and I drink soda more than we should, so this easily influences us to buy even more soda.

Economic Influence 2.2

Lots of people dislike McDonald's, but if you're looking for food quick and cheap it is a good place to go. My mom and I often pick up McDonald's if shes had a long day and doesn't feel like cooking because it's a cheap and quick food resource.

Environmental Influence 3.1

Some people choose not to eat GMO foods. It is often you see GMO foods in your grocery store every day. Some people say that it is bad to eat foods that are GMO because they think it's not healthy for our environment. So GMO foods are an external influence.

Environmental Influence 3.2

Some foods are only great in certain seasons. Like fruits being better and more ripe during the summer time. You often buy certain foods in the season that they are best in. So this is an external influence.

Technological Influence 4.1

Nowadays you can do your grocery shopping online. You can place your grocery order and the workers will bring your food out to you and load up your vehicle. Online grocery shopping can easily influence someone's choices in what to buy because they're not seeing and picking out their food in person.

Technological Influence 4.2

Food processing can change the way people think about food. I know personally I don't like hot dogs anymore because I saw a video on how hot dogs are made, as well as what is inside of them under a microscope. Seeing videos about the way food is processed can change someone's perspective on that food.
