Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    How does advertising influence what people eat?

    Model answer

    Advertising influences food choice by building familiarity with brands, associating products with pleasure or status, and promoting foods high in fat, sugar and salt more heavily than fruit and vegetables.

  2. 2

    Why are restrictions placed on advertising food to children?

    Model answer

    Restrictions on advertising to children exist because children are less able to recognise persuasion, and campaigners argue that heavy promotion of energy-dense products shapes preferences that last into adult life.

  3. 3

    How does availability affect food choice?

    Model answer

    Availability affects food choice through the range of shops within reach, whether transport is needed to reach a supermarket, opening hours, and the seasonal supply of fresh produce.

  4. 4

    What is meant by a food desert?

    Model answer

    A food desert is an area where affordable fresh food is hard to buy locally, so residents depend on small shops with a limited and often more expensive range.

  5. 5

    Describe the dietary rules observed in a kosher Jewish household.

    Model answer

    A kosher household eats no pork or shellfish, uses meat slaughtered and prepared according to Jewish law, and keeps meat and dairy foods separate in preparation, serving and storage.

  6. 6

    Describe the dietary rules observed by many Muslims.

    Model answer

    Many Muslims eat only halal meat slaughtered according to Islamic law, avoid pork and alcohol, and fast between dawn and sunset during the month of Ramadan.
