Our eating habits may differ and I don't mean only the fact that some of us are vegetarians or vegans but rather the products we choose. Some people try to buy mainly things that are grown in a country they live, the others prefer those with low prices but there are also people who would do completely the oppoosite - they choose very expensive, organic food because they hope that the more they pay, the better their meal is.
