Survey Results

When conducting my survey I asked several girls and boys from my floor. Most people said that they would buy SOME fruit when it is out of season just because they crave it so much and can't tell the difference. When someone wants strawberries they will not just not eat them because they are out of season. Most people said that there is a change in taste but it isnt a drastic change. Vegetables were a bigger problem to people though because when a vegetable is out of season or wasn't properly grown right it has a specifically different taste.


1.       Do you buy food from local food stands (vegetables/fruits)? Yes or no
2.       If these foods were not “in season” would you still buy them? Yes or no
3.       If you answered yes to the above question, why or why not?
4.       Do you believe they taste or look different whether they are in season or not?
5.       Do you think that because they aren’t in season, something is wrong with them?
6.       Do you think In Season foods are better than out of season foods?
7.       Do you think that In Season vegetables are better than in season Fruits?
8.       What about out of season vegetables versus out of season fruits?
9.       Do you think that most people worry about whether it is in season or out of season?
10. What is your view on local foods in general?

    I’m not sure exactly what social science theory that you’re using, but I like how when you interviewed people, you asked them about both their feelings about the subject and their habits. I also like how in your interview you asked people their concerns about the subject matter and if they changed their eating behavior based on whether fruit is in season or not. Another thing that is good is that you asked for their thoughts on fruits versus vegetables. I think that you have a good survey and it sounds like you got good results.

    I think this is a great topic and I find it very interesting. I personally don't care about whether a fruit/vegetable is out of season. If I want it, I'll eat it. I think the questions in your survey flowed very nicely with your topic. I'm a little unsure of your theory but I think the survey was really good!
