CONNECTION BETWEEN TALKING ABOUT FOOD CONTENT AND EATING FASTFOOD. We have looked at if there is a conection between how often you talk ith your family/friends about the contents of the food and how often you eat fastfood.

This graph for instance shows us a person who speaks often with their parents about food content and how often this person eats fastfood.

It doesn’t look like there is a connection between the two parameters. But you can see that the ones who never speaks about it, has the highest percentage of eating fastfood more than once a week.

And none of the ones who speak occasionally with their parents eat fastfood more than once a week, and this group has the highest percentage of the ones who almost never eat fastfood.

Never speaks with their parents about the food content.

SOURCE OF ERRORS

- Many girls and few boys

Out of the 39 Danish answers there were 35 of them which were girls’ and only 4 which were boys’. So when you look at all answers the girls’ answers have a very big influence on the results and the boys’ almost haven’t.

And when you look at the boys’ answers it can seem more interesting than it is – for instance when 2 boys answer they almost never eat fastfood and 2 boys eat fastfood more than once a week it’s suddenly 50 % of the boys who eat fastfood more than once a week.

- Too many participants

In our class we are only 28 students, but there are 39 answers. This means that some of the answers have been counted twice (or maybe more).

- One 12 year old

There was an answer which said that the person was 12 years old, but this person has been counted as a 17 year old.

- Few 19 year olds

This is the same issue as with the boys. There were only 3 19 year olds in the survey.

- Confusing possible answers

In our class there have been expressed a lot of confusion about the possible answers. This means, that if there is a possible answer you don’t understand, you will answer something else – even though the confusing answer is the right answer for you. An example is the breakfast question.
