Consumption of food is mostly determined only by hunger, but choosing what to eat cannot be solely determined by physiological and nutritional needs.

There are other determinants like knowledge about food, common-belief, and behavioral traits like attitude etc. All these determinants play a significant role in selecting food, and this article investigates the understanding of these determinants and their factors by reviewing related articles. The results evaluated depicts the extent to which these determinants influence an individual’s food selection.
