Determinants of Modern Gastronomy
Gastronomy deals with food and culture and the various intersecting facets that
connect them through and through. Certain eating habits are restricted to certain cultures and
ecological regions and certain eating habits are found to be universal on a global basis
(Donati 2016). The various determinants are – a. knowledge about factors influencing food
choices. b. Recognition of modern trends in human eating attitudes (Geissler and Powers
2017), food consumption. c. The basic theory behind contemporary researches that relate to
modifiable attitudes and human behaviours (Okumus, Koseoglu and Ma 2018). d. Learning
from the dietary patterns ‘and’ related health purposes. I believe that certain suitable targets
apply itself through modifications (that is through individual behaviours and critical beliefs).
As for recommendations – the exact methods and the programs regarding diet change is not
ethically correct if the person, recommending the same lack the basic theory knowledge.
Food has an influence on behaviour and vice versa and the individual's thorough knowledge
of the dietary aspects and the health aspects are unlikely to modify dietary manner.
Socialization help a man understand other cultures that is not of his own and food is one thing
that greatly influences a person’s perception about a definite culture. There are certain
research that depicted humans being innately programmed to sweet tastes since birth and
these scientific researches actually reveal that there human beings are born with some or
other attraction to either meat, to fatty foods or towards both.
As per the modern gastronomy researches - salt, unlike meat and sweet tastes are not
preferred by infants or children and the modulation of salt taste depends on age and
development. People can modulate themselves to lower levels of salt in foods at any point of
life (Sorokowska et al. 2017). Salt levels immensely effect a cultural experience or rather a
whole gastronomic experience. While the modulation salt perception generally shifts from
higher to lower - the sweetness preferences modulate in different directions at different stages
