Czech eating habits changing due to economic climate

Czechs’ eating habits have been changing in recent years as a result of multiple factors, including the cost of foods, advertising and an increase in public awareness of healthy nutrition. While many Czechs continue to choose foodstuffs according to their price, those with higher incomes are increasingly paying attention to good quality and prefer healthy foods.
