Chapter 1

Introduction

The food habits of people especially youngsters are creating endless scenes in

many of the households. Parents find themselves bargaining or bribing their

growing up children to eat healthy and nutritious food. Youngsters are very

selective about the food they eat. There are variety of food to choose from.

These varieties- meat products, pizzas, cheese alike is attracting their taste buds.

Buying pre-cooked items is a trend that is slowly on the increase.

With busy schedules, meal times too have become irregular and when pangs of

hunger strike, it is easier to pick up ready-to-eat snacks rather than prepare a hot

meal. The market is constantly flooded with new food products, which are

promoted attractively and this has greatly influenced the food habits of the

youngsters. Despite the awareness of the side effects these readily available

foodstuff will cause, the food outlets are crowded these days in any place that

you visit. Day by day food joints catering the famous brands of foodies are

mushrooming throughout the country. Good nourishment is the secret of a

healthy and happy life. It is the basic investment a parent can make for the

child's future. It is imperative that adults use their discretion when it comes to

choice of food patterns rather than blindly believe what ads declare.

Problem Definition

A time in life for food selection is when people step out independently for

the first time and begin to make all of their own food decisions. The

transition to college or university is a critical period for young adults, who

are often facing their first opportunity to make their own food decisions and

this could have a negative impact on students‟ eating habits.

Today‟s younger generation is suffering from many health issues. The study

attempts to find the reasons behind these issues and to find easily

implementable suggestions to keep the balance between busy schedules and

nutritional diet.

Literature Review

Devon C. Payne-Sturges,Allison Tjaden,Kimberly M. Caldeira,Kathryn B.

Vincent, Amelia M. Arria(2017) This study attempts to measure the food

insecurity among college students which is a significant public health concern

that might have implications for academic performance, retention, and

graduation rates. It was concluded that the food insecurity status was not

significantly associated with financial independence, student status, credit

hours, living situation, employment, or having a university meal plan after

adjusting for age, gender and family income.

Mrigen Kr. Deka, Anil Kumar Malhotra, Rashmi Yadav, Shubhanshu

Gupta (2015) this study concludes that the health and nutritional status among

the adolescents was found to be low and more in girls than in boys. The

prevailing dietary practices of adolescents have not been up to the mark. It was

found that most of the participants are suffering from both macro- and

micronutrients deficiencies which lead to a decrease in the growth spurt, for

both physical and mental health.

Kathryne Faye Payne (2008) this study examines the associations between

eating disorder risk and dietary habits among college population. This study

found that dietary intake of students did not vary significantly between at-risk

and not subject at risk, excepting lower caloric intake and fewer fried vegetable

servings as eating disorder. Both groups failed to meet the Dietary Guidelines

for fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dietary fiber.

Sameer Deshpande, Michael d. Basil, Debra z. Basil(2009) This study

attempts to investigate the validity of the health belief model (HBM) among

students, followed by gender-based analyses. This study found no significant

effects of the food features such as price, taste, ease of preparation, and

convenience on barriers, efficacy and thus the likelihood to eat a healthy diet.

Abdallah S Al-Rethaiaa, Alaa-Eldin A Fahmy, Naseem M Al-

Shwaiyat(2010) this study has assessed overweight and obesity rates among

male college students in KSA and to correlate their body weight status and

composition with their eating habits. This study suggest the need for strategies

and coordinated efforts at all levels (family, university, community and

government) to reduce the tendency of overweight and obesity among college

students and to promote healthy eating habits in youth.

Conclusion & Future Scope

Conclusion

In today‟s 21st century youngsters are more prone to get addicted to soft drinks,

hard drinks, smoking etc. Youngsters do not follow proper meal timings and

prefer junk food over healthy food. Youngsters do know the consequences of

their addictions but still are unaware about the health problems that may lead to

various diseases in future. It is found that the consumption of fruits and

vegetables is very less than desired. Youngsters prefer to ready to eat food items

and frozen food. The study suggests

Suggestions

It is necessary to arrange some health advisory sessions for youngsters and to

make them aware about tasty but nutritional food items and their easy

preparation recipes.

It is necessary to arrange counseling sessions to help them come out of

addictions and focus on healthy lifestyle.
