The world economy is more integrated
with faster communication and hence forth,
diet transition is more inevitable.
Globalisation has played an enormous role
in the transformation of food consumption
pattern of the population. The changes in
eating patterns especially with foods eaten
outside home have resulted in major
changes in the nutrient composition of the
diet. Hence the study was undertaken to
know the food choices by the customers
while dinin I out at the eateries . A total of
500 customers were selected from the
selected food service operations in
Coimbatore. A well designed questionnaire
comprising the demographic details of
customers/ name/ age/ sex, occupation,
address, monthly income, food consumption
details such as frequency of dining out,
preference of food while dining out namely
steamed, boiled, grilled, fast, fried or baked
foods were elicited. The amount spent per
dine out of the customer and types of eatery
visited were studied. On the basis of the
details elicited education on healthy food
choices at eateries were given.
