The subjects were in the precontemplation stage (52%), maintenance stage (31%), action stage (7%), contemplation stage (2%), and decision stage (1%). Most females and educated people were in the maintenance stage. Regarding the influence on food choice, taste was more important with subjects in the precontemplation stage whereas health was for the subjects in maintenance stage.

Discussion

Article Abstract:

Results of a pan-EU survey of consumer attitudes to food, nutrition and health show the need to have separate strategies for different target groups. Although it has some limitations, the survey provides valuable data for the formulation and implementation of nutrition guidelines and the promotion of healthy eating in the EU compatible with the modern lifestyle of the 1990s, where quality and taste are more important.
