What influences the food choices you make?

Available for over a year

Why do some people make different choices from the crowd? Researchers from the University of Oxford are just starting a new four-year long study on what influences our food choices when it comes to meat and dairy. NHS Guidelines suggest we shouldn’t eat more than 90g of red or processed meat a day, that’s the equivalent of only three thinly-cut slices of ham. Professor Charles Godfray is a Population Biologist at Oxford University, leading the research. He talks to Winifred Robinson about what reasons are behind our food choices.
