ABSTRACT
The dictionary denes diet as “a selection of food and beverages consumed by an individual.” Dietary habit is the habitual decision an individual makes when selecting food to enjoy. It is a lifestyle. In general, humans are omnivores; however, with time, differences in dietary habits have developed across cultures. Foods that may be a preference for some cultures may be taboo for others; for instance, dog or frog meat or caterpillar is a delicacy in some cultures, while the same type of food is strictly prohibitive in some others.
