“…Fifth, demographics played only small roles in the SEM. However, the findings were consistent with earlier research [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. For example, older age and female gender were directly and positively associated with Healthy habits and Eat less , sit less .…”

“…Highly educated people also tend to be more health conscious [ 14 ] and more able to afford exercise and dietary innovations [ 15 ], so they may emphasize individual responsibility for obesity. Similarly, being married may positively influence health and food consumption [ 16 ], and the presence of young children in the household may expose food providers to food marketing and obesogenic influences [ 17 , 18 ]. Body Mass Index status: People who are overweight or obese might be expected to have greater reason than others to consider the causes of obesity as well as methods to control body weight.…”

The rise of the middle classes in developing countries and the associated epidemiological transition raises the importance of assessing this population group’s awareness of the causes of obesity and effective weight control strategies in order to develop effective health promotion strategies. The study aimed to examine the perceptions of the causes of obesity and weight control strategies held by middle class household food providers in Melbourne, Singapore, Shanghai, Indonesia and Vietnam. An online survey was conducted in late 2013, early 2014 among 3945 respondents. Information about body weight concerns, perceived causes of obesity, effectiveness of weight control methods, demographics, self-reported height and weight, and personal values was elicited. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) derived nine reliable factors which were used in structural equation modelling (SEM). Two thirds of respondents were trying to change their body weight, of them, 71% were trying to lose weight. The CFA and SEM showed that demographics, region of residence, personal values and perceptions of the causes of obesity (Unhealthy food behaviours, influences Beyond personal control and Environmental influences) had direct and indirect associations with three weight control methods factors, named: Healthy habits, Eat less, sit less, and Dieting. Middle class food providers in the study regions share public health views of obesity causation and personal weight control. These findings could inform public health and food policies, and the design of public health interventions and communications. Further research is required among lower socio economic status (SES) populations.

“…where "N" is the total considered population, in this case, 17,592,625 persons with ages above 15 years old, since younger consumers do not have the power of decision when buying food products, even if they have an influence on the family decision [86,107]. "e" is the accepted error, in this case, 5 %, and "n" being the resulted sampling size.…”

“…Additionally, through their studies, they propose alternatives to the current consumption patterns. For example, sustainable diets [3], change of language on vegetable product labels into a more stimulating one [85], plant-based and oat-based protein consumption [22], or food education for children and parents [6,86], therefore aiming at the health aspect of a sustainable food choice [87].…”

The behavior of vegetable consumption in the context of sustainable development has become a point of interest. Determining the barriers and the drivers for developing a sustainable consumption pattern, including food, should be a priority for every nation, as so to be able to design targeted food policies that would contribute to this development. Reducing the pressure on resources by diminishing meat consumption and increasing vegetable consumption is one of the global directions that should be followed. The situation of the current status of vegetable consumption in Romania is, therefore, important. Through an empirical quantitative analysis, the vegetable consumption pattern of Romanian consumers is presented. The results show that the respondents lack proper environmental education and concern, but unconsciously are aware of sustainability criteria such as choosing local and seasonal vegetables, choosing according to the freshness of the vegetables, and wasting little of these purchases. The main barriers determined in developing more sustainable vegetable choices in the case of Romanian consumers are income and time availability restrictions. It is also important to have the ability to identify the local, seasonal, and organic vegetables through specific labels, and to provide the local producers with the ability to sell their products in supermarkets, at fair prices. These would be the main drivers for developing a sustainable vegetable choice. Adding to that, an awareness campaign at the national level regarding the importance of individual choice would contribute to educating towards a sustainable purchasing pattern.

“…However the financial situation of the family, the education level of parents [28], especially the employment of the mother can shade this process. [27] Mutual influence of peers is a rudimental human feature that stems in psycho-physical and social appreciation need. During the process of consumer socialization peers have a salient role in transmitting the attitude and behavioral norms.…”
