Consumer Eating Habits

What you'll see

What people eat on a normal day, which is rarely what they buy on a big shop
What decides the meal: time, price, habit, the family, or health
Who follows a diet and which one, so you know how big each group really is
What gets in the way of eating better, in their own words

How to get good answers

Ask about a typical day, not about last week. People remember habits far better than they remember dates.
Do not send it under a brand name. A logo at the top turns honest answers into polite ones.
Avoid anything that sounds like judgement. The moment a question feels like a telling-off, people answer with the version of themselves they would like to be.
Run it twice a year. Eating changes with the season more than any other habit you can measure.
