Consumer attitudes and beliefs about diet, health and nutrition are influenced by
Cultural environment
The macro environment of marketing includes demographic, economic, natural, technological, political and cultural forces.
The cultural environment consists of institutions and other forces that affect a society's basic values, perceptions, preferences and behaviours. People's beliefs and attitudes about diet, health and nutrition are shaped by these values and by shifts in secondary values, which is why marketers track trends such as health consciousness and fitness as cultural changes.
The economic environment covers income, spending patterns and purchasing power; the natural environment covers raw materials, energy and pollution. Social influences such as reference groups and family act on individual buying, but in Kotler's macro framework beliefs about food and health are placed in the cultural environment.
Hence, Cultural environment.
