Men and women have different eating habits: Shocking, right?
It comes as no surprise to me that men and women tend to gravitate toward different foods. However, you might be surprised by some of the findings shown in a recent post over at Diet-blog based on a study of 14,000 Americans.
Predictably, men tended to eat more meat and poultry, and women ate more vegetables. However, men ate more Brussels sprouts and asparagus, and women ate more fresh hamburger while men leaned toward frozen. Several "risky" behaviors were also recorded, showing that men ate more pink hamburger and runny eggs while women ate more alfalfa sprouts.
Do you think our eating habits are predetermined, or are you influenced as you grow up by what those around you choose to eat?

To quote Forrest Gump: "I think it's a little of both" - I used to pick beef out of beef stew when I was a kid, and I've always leaned towards a more vegetarian diet. I think we are pre-disposed to eat the way we evolved, which is different for everyone. And we are also highly influenced by what we were fed as children and (unfortunately) what marketing tells us is OK to eat.
