Which of the following best describes your perspective on nutrition?
Note: This may be something your consciously aware of, or perhaps not so conscious. In either case, select which you currently most identify with.
■ Objective: You see food exclusively as fuel and don't have much/any emotional association with it. You occasionally seek food that "tastes good" even if it isn't the most healthy, but more often you detach most emotion from eating. You choose foods based on substance and nutrition more so than palate.
■ Subjective: You love the social and "pleasurable" aspects of food. When choosing what you'll have to eat, you most often consider "what you're in the mood for" according to the taste, aroma, deliciousness, etc of the meal. Food brings you joy/pleasure so you seek that out when choosing what you'll have to eat.
Which of the following best describes your perspective on nutrition/diet variety?
■ Hardly any variety: You would describe your diet as somewhat bland/monotonous. This doesn't imply that you eat mostly tasteless foods, but that your diet consists of many of the same foods on a routine basis. You could eat the same foods basically every day and not get tired of them.
■ Crave variety: You absolutely crave variety and nuance in diet. You strongly dislike or altogether refuse to eat leftovers or the same/too similar foods within relative close proximity of one another.
