"You are what you like." - Mark Schatzker, The Dorito Effect (2015) Whenever we consume a product, there is an implicit or explicit decision happening. As I discussed in my previous post, each person’s weighting system for making such decisions will vary based on nurture, nature and cultural factors (I refer to this set of factors as ‘personality’ to simplify going forward). In Part 1, my goal is to tease out why an individual’s determination of ‘quality’ (or optimal for themselves balancing taste, cost, nutritional value and other factors) is extremely difficult in the long-run. In Part 2, I talk about trust, nuance and evolution in the context of dietary choices.
