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.
