I don't know who ntroduced it, but sociologists ind economists se^m to use it . lot, and now it is being taken ip by the public health cientists in general. It is the ise of the term "life styles" >y these professionals who are n the business of guarding >ur health that I think is worth Doking at a bit more closely. When you think about it, 'life style" suggests a certain reedom of choice in goings bout the^business of living. Jut at the same time there is a >ressure from society to make hoices qf a certain kind. It is he old dilemfria. Whea, if ver, are we truly free? We all ecognize the subtle pressure f "style". Take high school nd college students, for xample.

J s * In theory, then, we are free to choose anyjife stykjdtLat we_^ want, butJ/ou and 4 know 4hat is just that -- theory. In jut practice, we will h? influenced by many things, including ^ some we don't even know" ^ about. The simple: act qf going, to the 'supermarket will illustrate what I mean. We generally think of supermarket shopping as a series of free choices we ourselves . make concerning foods we want to eat. But how many-4 times do parents of ryrning children l>uy a particular product under pressure from their- children, who have seen the product advertised on TV? Food marketing is a very complex business which involves psychology, sociology, economics, and billions of dollars a year. Hundreds of experts join together to do one thing: cajole you |o buy their product. vvnue it wouldv^eem that our food choices are freely made, they actually are subtly manipulated by food marketing experts. It is no wonder that we sometimes make poor ^Choices. f , And so when it comes to matters of health it is rather a change of direction for the public health experts to be saying that if you are in bad health it's your own fault; that it's really not a matter of their responsibilityr^thatnt^s all^aa result of the life style that you have chosen for yourself. And so, irrmatt^rs of nutrition too; they often add, if you aren't eating properly you have no one to blame but yourself. Well, '/blame'** is a pretty ^ strong word, and in this matter of choosing what to eat I really don't think jt should apply. I find that most people 11-. 1M-_ . vvuuiu -ictiiiy iiKe to cnoose correctly -- as far as they can afford it -- but the advice from all sorts of "experts" is so conflicting -- and changing -that they are honestly puzzled. I think this puts a load on the public health worker. They are correct, it seems to me, to suggest that 44life style? choices are open to you, but at the same time they should take into account the limitations of the word "style." In the real world choices are not all that "free". And then most importantly, I think these same public health experts should re-double their efforts to improve the quality of advice you are getting, and further, should not shift the, burden entirely on to you, but live up to their title of "public" health experts to see to it that our "public" supplies of food -- and the food See Eating, Page 10
