Could be a number of things – personality, taste, metabolism, lifestyle, genetics, energy, etc.

Your five senses, taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing determine our food choices. We use our sight to read labels for ingredients and vitamin content. Also, to look at the vegetables to see if they look fresh. Check meat to see if it has a good color, and isn’t too fatty. We look for sell-by dates. Also, the design of the packages and attractiveness of displays influence our choices. And, of course, price is another thing. We can choose between the store brand and national brands. those choices often have a lot to do with advertising. Our sense of smell also influences choice. That chicken broasting smells so good, we just have to have some as an example. We use sense of touch to choose fruits and vegetables. Sometimes vendors have samples for us to taste, so that is an example of using our sense of taste. Hearing enables us to hear announcements and to talk to a butcher, for instance. Our memory also plays a part because we can remember which foods we like and which we don’t.
