Radio with Iñaki Manero: Why Do We Eat What We Eat?

Radio interview on Siempre 88.9 FM, explaining some aspects that influence why we eat what we eat.

In this interview, I discuss the various factors that determine our food choices. Cultural traditions, social dynamics, and individual preferences all contribute to the foods we select and consume. The environment in which we grow up, the habits passed down through generations, and the influence of media and marketing shape our eating behaviors.

Understanding why we eat what we eat requires looking at both external influences and internal motivations. Food is not only nourishment but also a reflection of identity, belonging, and social interaction. By examining these aspects, we can better appreciate the complexity behind our daily food decisions.
